Lyrics for The Gift
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 He 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 sits 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 wasting my time!
