Dual Core - Painting Pictures 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
