Ayreon - The Theory of Everything Part 1 lyrics

11 years earlier

The Father, a brilliant scientist
Has devoted his
Life to finding the Theory of Everything
The equation that will fully
Explain and unite all physical forces of the
Universe he's obsessively
Working day and night
Unaware that his wife and introverted son
Need far more attention than
He has been giving them the Mother has
Always supported her husband's
Scientific pursuit's
But the strain of dealing with
Their asocial child's special needs
Has worn her down to the point of desperation

I'm so close to the answer
A dazzling symphony of cosmic strings
I feel the pulse vibrating, just out of reach
The music of space

One single master equation
Unification of the great and small
I hear the notes but
The arrangements is wrong
And I'm starting to doubt
But I can't give up now I'm so near

Can't you see we need you out here
And what about our boy?
I think he's got something to give
What secrets lie beyond these hollow eyes?

I'm sorry you feel neglected
But, it's clear that you don't understand
I'm aware and I want to be there
I just need some more time
For the answer is blindingly near

Are you trying to drive us away
Just when we need you most?
You might find he's got something to give
What secrets lie beyond these eyes?
