She was everything he needed, she made him feel loved
Inspired him to greatest achievement
Without her he might not have set this (old) world on its ear
With that cancer cure
But her father's father died in some battle, just a boy they buried with pride,
And her mother's father died in that same war, fighting on the other side
And so her father never was
And her mother never was
And so it goes
But you couldn't contain his brilliance, absorbed in his work
He kept loneliness from his mind
A grateful world considers him among the greatest minds that ever lived
(Or did he now?)
But his father's mother died when she was just a baby in a village in occupied France
And his mother's mother's mother was pregnant with her, when she died in a labor camp
And so his father never was
And his mother never was
And so it goes
And all the things that need to happen in this world but never do
They’re all the work of someone who
Never was.
