Transformation lyrics

The Teacher has become the Prodigy's closest friend - and the only person the Prodigy trust. He is glad to see the Prodigy's progress, but can't help wondering if something unhealthy might be behind it. Regardless, he is determined to help the Prodigy, who is having trouble finding his bearings in the strange new world that the drug is revealing to him.

[Teacher:]

I don’t mean to interfere, but I see quite a change in you

The distant gaze has disappeared

The brilliant light behind your eyes is shining through

[Prodigy:]

You’re right, it’s strange

It all seems different now

The mist has cleared, I’m finally awake

But it’s hard to change

I want to live but I don’t know how

I need someone to help me find my way

[Teacher:]

You can count on me

I’m glad to have such a mind to teach

Life doesn’t have to be a mystery

You can live my dream

And scale the heights I could never reach

We can play a part changing history

Our time is here!

I have to say, it’s unusual

Such a transformation, overnight!

I wouldn’t have thought it was possible

I don’t want to scare you, but it can’t be right!

[Prodigy:]

Well I don’t mind, cause I feel so much stronger now

For the first time the world is making sense

[Teacher:]

I’ll be your guide

It’s time to live and I’ll show you how

A world of endless wonder lies ahead!
