See the child
With the golden hair but eyes that show the emptiness inside
Do we know?
Can we understand just how he feels or have we really tried?

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

[Refrain]
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh, no
Oh, no

See him stare
Not recognising the kind face that only yesterday he loved
The loving face
Of a mother who can't understand what she's been guilty of

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
[Refrain]
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh, no
Oh, no

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

[Refrain]
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
