Let's Give Adam and Eve Another Chance
Gary Puckett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And created what we now call the land
He raised His hand & said "They'll need a place to fly"
And created what we now call the sky
And then He gave life life to a man & a woman
And said "The rest is in your hands"
So many years have passed since these 2 people loved
Three billion represents the children of their love
But ooo, the sun is ice
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
(Got to learn to love one another)
Show us how to love one another
(Got to learn 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, all people hunger
Just for the right to be free
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
(Got to learn to love one another)
Show us how to love one another
(Got to learn to love one another)
In Gary Puckett's song Let's Give Adam and Eve Another Chance the lyrics suggest that God created a world for man and woman to inhabit, with land to stand on, and sky to fly in. He then breathed life into them and left the rest of the world in their hands. However, over the years, many tears have fallen and the world has become anything but peaceful. Puckett suggests that perhaps it is time to "give Adam and Eve another chance" to show humanity how to love one another and unite their children once more.
It is interesting to note that the lyrics do not suggest a literal interpretation of the creation story; rather, it presents a metaphorical interpretation, as if to say that all humans are the children of Adam and Eve. This would suggest that Puckett's message is that we should all come together as one, regardless of our differences.
Another interesting feature of this song is the way that it juxtaposes the beauty of the natural world with the pain and suffering of humanity. The lyrics suggest that God created a world of beauty and wonder, but that it is human actions that have caused the world to become fractured and torn apart.
Overall, Let's Give Adam and Eve Another Chance is a powerful song that encourages listeners to come together and learn to love one another, despite the conflicts and divisions that exist in the world today.
