Scorn not his simplicity
Bm - Em
- D - G - A - D
D
1. See the child, with the
golden hair
Em
yet eyes
that show the emptiness inside.
A
Do we know, can we understand
D
just how
he feels, or have we really tried ?
D
See him now, as he stands
alone
Em
and watches
children play a children's game,
A
simple
child, he looks almost like
D
the others,
yet they know he's not the same.
Bm - Gm D G D
Scorn not his simplicity but rather try to love
him all the more,
Bm - Gm A A7
Scorn not his simplicity, oh no, oh no !
D
2. See him stare, not
recognizing
Em
that
kind face that only yesterday he loved,
A
the
loving face of a mother
D
who
can’t understand what she's been guilty of.
D
How she cried tears of happiness
Em
the day the doctor told her it’s a boy !
A
Now she cries tears of
helplessness
D
and thinks
of all the things he can't enjoy.

Scorn not his simplicity but rather try to love
him all the more,

Scorn not his simplicity oh no, oh no !

3. Only he knows how to face
Em
the
future hopefully, surrounded by despair.
A
He wont
ask for your pity
D
or your sympathy, but surely you should care.
