Lyrics

Verse I:
He was born, one in a billion, from the beginning,
Something special, you?ll be impressed, he?s an
Artist, sculptor, social disrupter
Player, winner, wisdom giver
Like a shooting star, brighter than the rest,
Some will say he?ll go so far, farther than the very best

Chorus:
He?s a prodigy, everything comes easily,
Never wrong, he plays it like you?ve never seen,
He?s a prodigy, doing it all perfectly,
Feats of ingenuity already at the age of three

Verse II:
As time goes by he, gets empowered, shouting louder,
Getting stronger, working longer, he?s a
Mathematician, ace musician,
Encyclopedia, master of media,
Twenty languages, thirty symphonies,
Inspiration touches him like eternal epiphany

Chorus:
He?s a prodigy, everything comes easily,
Never wrong, he plays it like you?ve never seen,
He?s a prodigy, doing it all perfectly,
Multi-virtuosity by the age of thirteen

Verse III:
He grows up, broken, pretending, in the ending,
Spiral, falling, failure calling, he was
Trying, using, crying, abusing,
Time he?s wasting, fear he?s tasting,
Like a falling star, falling like the best,
?cause only the best die young, and now he has passed that test

Chorus:
He?s a prodigy, everything comes easily,
Never wrong, he plays it like you?ve never seen,
He?s a prodigy, doing it all perfectly,
Burned-out, dead and gone, by the age of nineteen
