Lyrics:

[Girl]
I feel his shadow
Looming over me
Leaving me defeated and confused

His eyes still haunt me
If only I'd done more
Maybe I gave up on him too soon

[Mother]
I share your sorrow
But we are not to blame
His heart has always been a mystery

[Both]
We'll never fathom
We'll never understand
Will he ever need us

Were we real?
Or mere reflections
In a mirror of dreams?

[Girl]
What holds his future?
How will he survive?
Without us to save him
From himself

Where has he run to
Will he return
I hope he knows I wish him well

[Mother]
It's up to him now
There's nothing we can do
I fear we cannot give him
What he needs

[Both]
Are we but phantoms
Inside his tangled mind?
Will he ever lead us
Are we real?
Or mere reflections
In a mirror of dreams?

[Teacher]
It's time
To put things
In perspective
Find your way again

Let me take you
To a lighthouse
Where you can hide away

[Prodigy]
I only want to be alone
To work the numbers on my own
I need to show my father
I need to show them all
I am the one

[Teacher] Your time has come
[Prodigy] To unlock the equation
[Both] The theory of everything

[Teacher]
If you're troubled by the visions
The chaos in your mind

If the voices start to whisper
Call me day or night

[Prodigy]
Don't worry, I'll be fine

[Teacher]
Don't underestimate the danger!

[Prodigy]
I'm gonna make the theory shine

[Teacher]
You'll regret it, sooner or later!

[Prodigy]
I need to show my father
I need to show them all
I am the one

[Teacher] Our time has come
[Prodigy] I'll find the equation
[Both] The theory of everything

[Father]
Now that it's all over
We've got to bring him home again

[Mother]
He doesn't want to see you
[?]

[Father]
But you can make him listen
All I need is one more chance

[Mother]
No! I can't take anymore
You never gave a damn!

[Mother]
And so it ends
It's time to let go
My spirit is crushed
Forsaken and cold

I'm leaving you
No tears left to cry
You'll never change
I made up my mind

This is goodbye

[Father]
So this is the end
How can I go on?
My dreams unfulfilled
Now I'm alone

I let them down
I pushed them away
No reason to live
I'm ending this pain
There's no other way!

Only one thing left to do!

[Father]
I'm down here on my knees
Feeling the weight of shame
How can I have done this to you, my son?

[Prodigy]
I can't believe my eyes
Is it really you?
Why should I forgive you
After all you've done

[Father]
I was driven and blind
Not so unlike yourself
We can still work together
If you allow me

[Prodigy]
Why should I give you a chance?
Why should I trust you now?
Ha, I'll bet you are helpless
Without me

[Father]
If we join our minds
Then together we can do this

[Both]
We both want to be the first
We both want to change the world

[Father]
We can work all night
'Til we find out what the truth is

[Both]
We'll solve this mystery
Be a part of history

[Prodigy] I'm so damn close
[Father] I'll fill in the blanks
[Prodigy] I could use a hand
[Father] Just give me this chance

[Both]
For we're on the verge
Of a breakthrough

[Prodigy] The meds help me to see
[Father] It's too late to stop now
[Prodigy] I'll take just a few more
[Father] Just 'til the answer is found

[Both]
We can make it
We'll find the truth

[Father] Let's join our minds
[Prodigy] (Let's join our minds)
[Father] It's our destiny to do this

[Both]
We're gonna be the first
We're going to change the world

[Father] We'll work all night
[Prodigy] (Let's work all night)
[Father] 'Til we find out what the truth is
[Prodigy] We will find the truth

[Both]
We'll go without our sleep
'Til we make this quantum leap
We are in this way too deep

[Prodigy] Isolate the graviton
[Father] Verify the Higgs boson
(Photons, gluons, hadrons, fermions)

[Prodigy] Demonstrate the tachyon
[Father] Find the missing baryon
(Hadrons, nucleons, protons, electrons)

[Prodigy] Ride the wave of gravity
[Father] Unravel supersymmetry
(Position x, momentum p, sparticles, dark energy)

[Prodigy] Einstein's relativity
[Father] Meets Heisenberg's uncertainty
(Singularity, eternity, infinity)

[Both]
Eureka!
We found it (We solved it)
We broke it (We did it)

Eureka!
We made it (We nailed[?] it)
We cracked it (We got it)

[Prodigy]
Dear friend
My work here is done
Science has evolved

As the sun set
On father and son
The mystery was solved

I'm broken
I'm falling apart
Slowly fading away

I'm sorry
I took it all too far
Thank you for
Your faith

[Teacher]
His mind took flight
And his eyes
Have lost their light

All we have to go on
Is a note

They changed the world
Last night
Working together
Side by side

His father is
The only one who knows

[Girl]
You haven't been told
That was his mother on the phone
There was a tragedy last night

His father can't have been here
It had to be a ghostly dream
For at the fall of day
He took his life!

Instrumental

[Mother]
They were seduced by the mystery
Something forbidden was uncovered here

[Mother] My husband
[Girl] My love
[Mother] My son
[Girl] All lost

[Both]
Our world is not ready to know
The Theory of Everything

We need a future to build
A new role to fulfill
We've got something to give
We'll find a reason to live!

[Teacher]
Will we ever understand
How two different hand styles
Came to grace this blackboard?

What unseen forces did conspire?
Uniting a father
And his son?
