Lyrics:

[01. Prologue: The Blackboard] 0:00
TEACHER:
Will we ever understand this complex genius? This visionary thinker?
Will we ever get this close again uniting the forces of our universe?

GIRL:
Will we ever understand his isolation? Or his sense of wonder?
We will never get this close again. It’s been too long. I think he’s gone...

[02. The Theory of Everything part 1] 1:55
FATHER:
I'm so close to the answer
A dazzling symphony of cosmic strings
I feel the pulse, vibrating just out of reach
The music of space

One single master equation
Unification of the great and small
I hear the notes but the arrangement is wrong
And I'm starting to doubt, but I can't give up now I'm so near

MOTHER:
Can't you see that I need you out here?
And what about our boy?
I think he's got something to give
What secrets lie... beyond these hollow eyes?

FATHER:
I'm sorry you feel neglected
But it's clear that you don't understand
I'm aware, and I want to be there
I just need some more time, for the answer is blindingly near

MOTHER:
Are you trying to drive us away
Just when we need you most?
You might find he's got something to give
What secrets lie beyond these eyes?

[03. Patterns] 4:57
*Instrumental*

[04. The Prodigy’s World] 6:01
(MOTHER) PRODIGY:
(Talk to me) I know you’re there, but I won’t see you
I hear your voice but it can’t reach me
(Let me in) It all seems so trivial
In the scheme of things

(Talk to me) I feel your touch but it can’t move me
I hear your words but they confuse me
(Let me in) 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!

[05. The Teacher’s Discovery] 7:38
TEACHER:
I can’t believe, this can’t be true. How could you know?
I’ve tried to solve this for as long as I recall
Is this your work? Be honest now. How did you do it?
I’m not angry, boy, but I really need to know

PRODIGY:
I’m sorry, sir, I can’t explain
It’s the way I’ve always been
You see, the numbers just appear before my eyes

RIVAL:
Don’t believe hi, no! He is envious!
I felt it from the start
In every class, I’ve always been the genius
And he just wants to be like me

Don’t let him deceive you
He’s nothing but a fake
A sad pretender
Trying to take my place
Don’t let him deceive you
He’s nothing but a fake
A sad pretender
A total waste of space

[06. Love and Envy] 10:29
GIRL:
Why do you torment him, are you jealous?
There must be a reason you’re so cruel
What have you got against him? Does he scare you?
What did he ever do to you?

RIVAL:
Oh no, I can’t believe you’re falling for this loser
Oh no, I thought you knew that I am so much cooler

GIRL:
Why do you despise him, are you frightened?
Are you being driven by your pride?
I think you feel threatened by his brilliance
But still you admire him, deep inside

RIVAL:
Oh no, I can’t believe you’re falling for this loser
Oh no, I thought you know that I am so much cooler
Oh no, I always thought that we should be together
Oh no, I really think that you can do so much better

[07. Progressive Waves] 13:11
*Instrumental*

[08. The Gift] 16:28
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 who 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 staring into space!

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, you’ll see there’s more to him than meets the eye
FATHER:
Fine! I’ll try to help the child
Better not wasting my time!

[09. The Eleventh Dimension] 19:06
*Instrumental*

[10. Inertia] 20:47
PRODIGY:
Are you trying to drive me away
Just when I need you most?
I think I’ve got something to give
I just don’t know how

[11. The Theory of Everything part 2] 21:37
MOTHER:
We need to take him to therapy
Help him function in society

FATHER:
It's worth a try, who knows
He could help me complete The Theory Of Everything

MOTHER and FATHER:
A future to build
A role to fulfill
Something to give
A reason to live

Hope you enjoy it!
