Presentation |
… «In the sudden silence as I finished playing, |
I looked up to a circle of grim, expressionless faces. |
Father Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolent voice |
echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall.»… |
… «Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, |
they were words of quiet rejection! |
Instead of praise, |
sullen dismissal. |
I watched in shock and horror as Father |
Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters |
beneath his feet…» |
I know it’s most unusual |
To come before you so But I’ve found an ancient miracle |
I thought that you should know |
Listen to my music |
And hear what it can do There’s something here as strong as life |
I know that it will reach you. |
Yes, we know it’s nothing new |
It’s just a waste of time |
We have no need for ancient ways |
The world is doing fine |
Another toy will help destroy |
The elder race of man |
Forget about your silly whim |
It doesn’t fit the plan. |
I can’t believe you’re saying |
These things just can’t be true |
Our world could use this beauty |
Just think what we might do. |
Listen to my music |
And hear what it can do There’s something here as strong as life |
I know that it will reach you. |
Don’t annoy us further |
We have our work to do. |
Just think about the average |
What use have they for you? |
Another toy will help destroy |
The elder race of man |
Forget about your silly whim |
It doesn’t fit the plan. |
