He raised His hand & said "I'll need a place to stand"
& created what we now call the land
He raised His hand & said "I'll need a place to fly"
& created what we now call the sky
& then He gave life to a man & a woman
& said "The rest is in your hands"
So many years have passed since these 2 people loved
3 billion* represents the children of their love
Too many tears have fallen from the eyes of the people
For whom the sun is ice
CHORUS:
Let's give Adam & Eve another chance
To bring their children back together
Let's give Adam & Eve another chance
To show us how to love one another
To show us how to love one another
When He created all the beauty that we see
I know he had in mind a better life for you & me
But as we grow stronger, more people hunger
Just for the right to be free
(repeat chorus & fade)

This Girl Is A Woman Now
(V. Millrose/A. Bernstein)
This girl walked in dreams, playing in a world of her own
This girl was a child existing in a playground of stone
Then one night her world was changed
Her life & dreams were rearranged
& she would never be the same again
CHORUS:
This girl is a woman now; she's learned how to give
This girl is a woman now; she's found out what it's all about
& she's learning, learning to live
This girl tasted love as tender as the gentle dawn
She cried a single tear, a teardrop that was sweet & warm
Our hearts told us we were right
& on that sweet & velvet night
The child had died; a woman had been born
(repeat chorus & fade)
Could I
(Gary Puckett/Jerry Fuller)
Your only try at love was through before it began
So now you're frightened of the thought of losing again
Would I be true to you, girl; if there's any doubt
Just ask me anything your mind is wondering about
CHORUS:
Could I chase the bitter taste
Left in your heart by someone who said goodbye?
Could I love you enough
I'm down on my knees, beggin' you please, could I?
If I could get to you & prove the things that I say
You wouldn't compare me to the pain you knew yesterday
You've built a wall of ice I'm sure my lovin' will melt
Please let me hold you, love, instead of asking yourself
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat chorus & fade)
Daylight Stranger
(Gary Puckett/Jerry Fuller)
If we meet by chance today, pretend that you don't see me
I'd love you, but if she knew, I know she'd never free me
Long as I am tied to her, we care not for the danger
So be discreet & meet me later, daylight stranger
She believes that I go out on real important business
She's so right 'cause every night I taste your tender kisses
That's what happens when a home is filled with pain & anger
So be discreet & meet me later, daylight stranger
For a while just be my lover
With the darkness as our cover
So that she may not discover you
(instrumental)
Soon enough she'll realize that we were both mistaken
But the work is in my hand, one day I'll soon awaken
Turn the sunlight in your eyes without the thrill of danger
So be discreet & meet me later, daylight stranger
(repeat & fade):
(Meet me later, daylight stranger)
