Lyrics Man-Child - Jerry Garcia, Merl Saunders

Man-Child

When the first man was born
He was held in the arms
Of a man-child
And the first tear he shed
Was the first to be shed
By a man-child
Then the first wrong was done
When committed it caused harm
To a man-child
(To a man-child)
He took a sister for his mate
Then they left the garden gate
This same man-child
(This same man-child)
Being the first to leave home
To forever he may roam
Who Lord?
Scorned for
Man-child
And still years from his birth
He has searched this vast earth
For happiness that should have been his
And through no fault of his own
He has suffered so long
Lonely
Lonely
Lonely
Lonely man-child
Now that times have moved on
He still looked on with scorn
Lonely man-child
He tries to give love abound
The past follow him round
Lonely man-child
What other men don’t understand
We are all of that first man
We’re the sons of
That same man-child
We’re the sons of
That same man-child
We’re the sons of
That same man-child
