Ayreon - The Gift lyrics
[Ayreon - The Gift lyrics]
The Teacher visit's the Father
Bringing him some surprising news
About his son
I'm glad you could meet me
I'm here about your son
I've never seen a mind like his
Especially so young
He's got a gift for numbers
Never known before an outstanding genius
Who shouldn't be ignored
You must be mistaken
He's useless and he's weak
I see no sign of genius
The boy can hardly speak
He just sit's there lifeless
For hours at a time
No expression on his face
His eyes staring into space
How can you be so heartless
There must be so much more that we can do
Who are you to judge me?
You don't even know what we've been through!
Just give him more attention
You'll see there's more to him
Than meets the eye
Fine, I'll try to help the child
Better not be wasting my time!
Bringing him some surprising news
About his son
I'm glad you could meet me
I'm here about your son
I've never seen a mind like his
Especially so young
He's got a gift for numbers
Never known before an outstanding genius
Who shouldn't be ignored
You must be mistaken
He's useless and he's weak
I see no sign of genius
The boy can hardly speak
He just sit's there lifeless
For hours at a time
No expression on his face
His eyes staring into space
How can you be so heartless
There must be so much more that we can do
Who are you to judge me?
You don't even know what we've been through!
Just give him more attention
You'll see there's more to him
Than meets the eye
Fine, I'll try to help the child
Better not be wasting my time!
