For a Man to Be Alone
From the dust of the earth, God formed a man
And He gave the breath of life and made him stand
A garden by the river was his home
But God said, "It is not good that he's alone"

So, the Lord put birds and beasts upon the land
And He called them all to pass before the man
And Adam gave them names, to each its own
But in the end, he stood among them all alone

So, the Lord God put a sleep upon the man
And He took a rib from Adam in His hands
Then He built a living woman from the bone
Because it was not good for the man to be alone
It was not good for the man to be alone

It's not good for a man to be alone
So much to share, too much that's never known
She'll be closer than a friend, his flesh and bone
It's not good for a man to be alone

When God brought her to the man, he took her hand
And Adam said, "Since you were taken out of man
Woman is your name, my flesh and bone
And it's so good that I don't have to be alone"
So, a man shall leave his mother and his home
All he is, and all he has becomes their own
For she's flesh made of his flesh, and bone of bone
It's not good for a man to be alone

It's not good for a man to be alone
There's so much to share, too much that's never known
She'll be closer than a friend, his flesh and bone

It's not good for a man to be alone
There's so much to share, too much that's never known
She'll be closer than a friend, his flesh and bone
Because it is not good for a man to be alone
It's not good for a man to be alone
