The Gift Lyrics

[Teacher]
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

[Father]
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 just staring into s***e

[Teacher]
How can you be so heartless
There must be so much more that we can do
[Father]
Who are you to judge me?
You don't even know what we've been through

[Teacher]
Just give him more attention
See there's more to him than meets the eye

[Father]
Fine, I'll try to help the child.
But I'm not just wasting my time.
