Scorn Not His Simplicity
[Verse]
See the child
With the golden hair
Yet eyes that show the emptiness inside
Do we know
Can we understand just how he feels
Or have we really tried
[Verse]
See him now
As he stands alone
And watches children play a children's game
Simple child
He looks almost like the others
Yet they know he's not the same
[Chorus]
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
[Verse]
See him stare
Not recognizing the kind face
That only yesterday he loved
The loving face
Of a mother who can't understand
What she's been guilty of
[Verse]
How she cried
Tears of happiness
The day the doctor told her "it's a boy"
Now she cries
Tears of helplessness
And thinks of all the things he can't enjoy
[Chorus]
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
[Verse]
Only he
Knows how to face the future hopefully
Surrounded by despair
He won't ask
For your pity or your sympathy
But surely you should care
[Chorus]
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
See the child
With the golden hair
Yet eyes that show the emptiness inside
Do we know
Can we understand just how he feels
Or have we really tried
[Verse]
See him now
As he stands alone
And watches children play a children's game
Simple child
He looks almost like the others
Yet they know he's not the same
[Chorus]
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
[Verse]
See him stare
Not recognizing the kind face
That only yesterday he loved
The loving face
Of a mother who can't understand
What she's been guilty of
[Verse]
How she cried
Tears of happiness
The day the doctor told her "it's a boy"
Now she cries
Tears of helplessness
And thinks of all the things he can't enjoy
[Chorus]
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
[Verse]
Only he
Knows how to face the future hopefully
Surrounded by despair
He won't ask
For your pity or your sympathy
But surely you should care
[Chorus]
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
