Adrienne! Adrienne!
Stranger from another world, traveller in time;
Who are you? Who am I?
Long-awaited wonder, mystery so near;
You are now, you are here!
Adrienne, innocent as early Spring;
Adrienne, wisdom is the gift you bring.
Gentle inspiration, gaze into my eyes,
In my dark shine your light!
Teach the ones who teach you the miracle of life:
Morning fades into night.
Adrienne! Adrienne!
Do we know? Are we wise?
Lifetimes cross, and, pray, our time is right!
Adrienne, newer than the breaking dawn;
Adrienne, when I hold you, keep me warm.
Innocent reflection, mirror by my side,
Help me know, help me guide.
Now the world's before, now our life begins;
Here, at last, Adrienne!
Adrienne! Adrienne!
"Adrienne"
