Ayreon - The Prodigy's World lyrics

The Mother is determined to
Connect with the Prodigy, but he is
Completely unresponsive he is
Simply incapable
Of relating to her emotionally
Even though on some level he wants to

Talk to me

I know you're there but, I won't see you
I hear your voice but it can't reach me

Let me in

It all seems so trivial
In the scheme of things

Talk to me

I feel your touch but it can't move me
I hear your words but they confuse me



Let me in

It all comes to nothing
In the scheme of things

Patterns emerge in nature's dance
Numbers are born in the wheel of chance
Why do I see this? What does it mean to me?
A grand design in all it's majesty
Vibrating strings, quantum gravity
Why was I chosen? What does it mean to me?
Tell me why!
