"Prodigy"

Little boy
So lost and lonely
Little boy
Only wants something to cling to

Some kind of hope
Some kind of love
Just a little something will do

There's a mask he wears
It says "I don't care"
For you and me he'll wear it
But inside he's dying

I know you heard him crying last night
It was hard to ignore
Little boy
Just wants to feel loved
Little boy
Doesn't know how to ask for it
So he'll go on
With his mask and his sorrow
For all the days of his life

We'll ignore his tears
Because that's what we do
Isn't it?

Tell me
Does that make us so great?
