Lyrics Scorn Not His Simplicity - Phil Coulter
Scorn
Not
His
Simplicity
See
the
child,
with
the
golden
hair,
But
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
that
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
