Scorn Not His Simplicity Lyrics - Sinead Oconnor

See the child 

With the golden hair 

Yet eyes that show the emptiness inside 

Do we know 

Can we understand just how he feels 

Or have we really tried 

See him now 

As he stands alone 

And watches children play a children's game 

Simple child 

He looks almost like the others 

Yet they know he's not the same 

Scorn not his simplicity 

But rather try to love him all the more 

Scorn not his simplicity 

Oh no 

Oh no 

See him stare 

Not recognizing the kind face 

That only yesterday he loved 

The loving face 

Of a mother who can't understand 

What she's been guilty of 

How she cried, tears of happiness 

The day the doctor told her it's a boy 

Now she cries tears of helplessness 

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 

Only he knows how to face the future hopefully 

Surrounded by despair 

He won't ask for your pity or your sympathy 

But surely you should care 

Scorn not his simplicity 

But rather try to love him all the more 

Scorn not his simplicity 

Oh no 

Oh no 

Oh no
