The Visitation

"Last night.

The Prodigy has been working on the Theory of Everything for months now. He's totally exhausted, but is sure that the final missing piece is just around the corner. Then one evening he gets an unexpected visitor."

I’m down here on my knees

Feeling the weight of shame

How could I have done this

To you, my son

I can’t believe my eyes

Is it really you?

Why should I forgive you

After all you’ve done…

I was driven and blind

Not so unlike yourself

We can still work together

If you allow me

Why should I give you a chance?

Why should I trust you now?

Ha… I bet you are helpless

Without me

If we join our minds

Then together we can do this

We both want to be the first

We both want to change the world

We can work all night

Till we find out what the truth is

We’ll solve this mystery

Be a part of history

I’m so damn close

I’ll fill in the blanks

I could use a hand

Just give me this chance

For we’re on the verge of a breakthrough

Let’s join our minds

It’s our destiny to do this

We’re going to be the first

We’re going to change the world

We’ll work all night

Till we find out what the truth is

We both know we’ll never sleep

Till we make this quantum leap

We are in this way too deep
