Adam (Hebrew: אָדָם; Aramaic/Syriac: ܐܕܡ; Arabic: آدم) is a figure from the Book of Genesis who is also mentioned in the New Testament, the deuterocanonical books, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, and the Book of Iqan. According to the creation myth of the Abrahamic religions, he was the first human.
In the Genesis creation narratives, he was created by Yahweh-Elohim ("Yahweh-God", the god of Israel), though the term "adam" can refer to both the first individual person, as well as to the general creation of humankind. Christian churches differ on how they view Adam's subsequent behavior of disobeying God (often called the Fall of man), and to the consequences that those actions had on the rest of humanity. Christian and Jewish teachings sometimes hold Adam and Eve (the first woman) to a different level of responsibility for the Fall, though Islamic teaching holds both equally responsible. In addition, Islam holds that Adam was eventually forgiven, while Christianity holds that redemption occurred only later through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Bahá'í Faith, Islam and some Christian denominations consider Adam to be the first prophet.

I see forest, stars in the sky at night
I am dreaming
I dream as a child
When I was allowed
When all was simple
When nothing could penetrate my skin
I see youth
When frowns were stranger then smiles
Unworn faces full of life, not worry
I long to return
I want to still wonder
I want nothing to penetrate my skin
We were younger then
Each day that came
More we would grow
But we are older now
And each day that comes
Takes more of my life away
Unscramble
This whirlwind of thought in my head
Competition forced into
Deceit that trusting allows
Rid me this struggle
Let me grow, in a world of childhood innocence
Where nothing can penetrate my skin
We were younger then
Each day that came
The more we would grow
But we are older now
And each day that comes
Takes more of my life away
I can't explain all the love I've had in my life
And how sometimes I couldn't feel it
For picturing it gone
Love rescue me now
Hold me tight so that I never forget
And nothing can penetrate my skin
