Adam We

Frightened and lonely I started of course
Straight off the wagon and back on the horse
A brand new town, a brand new start
and wanting to back out with all of my heart

But horse don't go backwards, no not without force
and my previous life was my choice to divorce
and backwards is foolish, and forward is smart
so harden I did, and to find a new cart

Adam, we struck a chord
both firm and fast
our seat and our standing
were in the same class

Adam, we stayed it out
right to the end
with nothing to grieve on
and nothing to mend

I hated that place that I was before
still run as it was by playground law
and though I approached it a bit apprehensive
this new place appeared somewhat less offensive

There I would learn and there I would grow
There where I found the things I've come to know
In the beginning, lost and alone
We took up sitting and caution was thrown

Adam, we strong
and Adam, we stand
together in building
the lives we had planned

Now Adam, we stagnant
and Adam, we stale
I took a fork
somewhere on the trail
