[Mother]
Talk to me

[Prodigy]
I know you're there
But I won't see you
I hear your voice
But it can't reach me

[Mother]
Let me in

[Prodigy]
It all seems so trivial
In the scheme of things

[Mother]
Talk to me

[Prodigy]
I feel your touch
But it can't move me
I hear your words
But they confuse me

[Mother]
Let me in

[Prodigy]
It all comes to nothing
In the scheme of things

Patterns emerge in nature's dance
Numbers are born in the wheel of chance
Why do I see this?
What does it mean to me?

A grand design in all its majesty
Vibrating strings, quantum gravity
Why was I chosen?
What does it mean to me?
Tell me why!
