The Teacher’s Discovery lyrics

"7 years ago as the students work on a test

in science class, a gust of wind from

the open window blows a paper

full of math equations off the Teacher's desk.

Unnoticed by the teacher, it lands at the Prodigy's feet.

Already having finished the test, he picks up the paper.

His face lights up as he begins writing."

[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’ve 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
