The Gift - Ayreon

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 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 be wasting my time!
