lyrics

I gotta share this story 'cause it brightened my world
Our main character is an amazing little girl

Wide-eyed, observant, and taking in everything
Plus the biggest smile that anyone had ever seen

Happy as could be, it didn't make sense
'Cause this little girl was surrounded by silence

All through, audio masked, like a costume
No sound either way, ergo, no volume

Never said a word, never made a noise
In fact, she'd never even heard her parents voice

But they loved her exactly the same, nothing fancy
Can't overestimate the value of a family

Taught her how to sign, write the alphabet, and read
And showed me that special needs make a special breed

Hands down, agreed, best money they ever spent
Was getting a computer and connection to the internet

In new technology, I'm placing all my trust
'Cause this is the science I've grown to know and love

Discoveries and research with time as the offset
Moving so fast just imagining the progress

Endless possibilities, the future isn't clear
Can't wait to see where we're gonna go from here

With meaning, ambition, drive, and a purpose
Just you wait, we're only scratching the surface

Technology's impact can be so profound
Having conversations without the need for sound

Engaging was easy as now she had a choice
'Cause online the internet gave her a voice

Plus she discovered that she's very artistic
Designs illustrations showing how she's gifted

Scrolls and uploads to community posts
And gets all the downloads and popular votes

And still loves reading, research, and learning
Her fire for knowledge, it never stops burning

She comes across an article about an advance
The cochlear implant would give her a chance

Reverse and unearth a whole world she's never heard
Connect a couple wires and activate the nerves

This gift that we're given, for her, would be priceless
Explore the other side of this curtain made of silence

In new technology, I'm placing all my trust
'Cause this is the science I've grown to know and love

Discoveries and research with time as the offset
Moving so fast just imagining the progress

Endless possibilities, the future isn't clear
Can't wait to see where we're gonna go from here

With meaning, ambition, drive, and a purpose
Just you wait, we're only scratching the surface

She met with the doctors and planned all of it out
Insurance came through and they paid the whole amount

Now I believe in miracles, I'll honestly confess
Impressed, the surgery had ended in success

Confused by the very first sounds that she hears
In therapy for years while adjusting to her ears

Hit a couple barriers, she's overcoming all of it
Dedicated, working every day with audiologists

Plus she's an optimist, still got that smile
It's even bigger now, grin is wider than a mile

Talking to her parents, such a great influence
Speaking with her friends even getting into music

Grooving to some nerdcore and hearing all the fun
She's a dual core fan, favorite album's zero one

But that might change with the song that you're witnessing
I mean this sincerely: thank you for listening

In new technology, I'm placing all my trust
'Cause this is the science I've grown to know and love

Discoveries and research with time as the offset
Moving so fast just imagining the progress

Endless possibilities, the future isn't clear
Can't wait to see where we're gonna go from here

With meaning, ambition, drive, and a purpose
Just you wait, we're only scratching the surface

In new technology, I'm placing all my trust
'Cause this is the science I've grown to know and love

Discoveries and research with time as the offset
Moving so fast just imagining the progress

Endless possibilities, the future isn't clear
Can't wait to see where we're gonna go from here

With meaning, ambition, drive, and a purpose
Just you wait, we're only scratching the surface
