Sinéad O’Connor
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
