• Nora Walker Hobbs : [singing]  Today it rained Champagne! A son was born again, A genius untamed, A life of wealth and fame, Wealth and fame, Champagne flowing down, Just like rain, Caviar breakfasts every day, Merchant banks, And yachts at Cannes, Servants and cars, And private sand...

• Nora Walker Hobbs : [singing]  But what's it all worth? What's it all worth, When my son is blind? He can't hear the music, Nor enjoy what I'm buying, His life is worthless, Affecting mine, I'd pay any price, To drive his plight, From my mind...

• Nora Walker Hobbs : [singing]  You don't answer my call, With even a nod or a twitch, But you gaze at your own reflection, You don't seem to see me, But I think you can see yourself, How can the mirror affect you?

• Nora Walker Hobbs : [singing]  Do you hear or fear or, Do I smash the mirror?

• Nora Walker Hobbs : [singing]  You're a hero, You are famous, You're a champion of the young, You are rich, But it's so absurd to try, To explain all the things, You've done, You're adored and you're loved, Thousands watch you play, Pinball, It's a fever, And you're the master of the game, And now that you're whole, You'll be champion, Of their very souls...

• Nora Walker Hobbs : [singing]  He'll raise, Your weary spirits high, My son will teach, Your silent hearts, To talk, Every home will have his picture, Pilgrims all will touch his hand, Pinball tables, Gold and silver, Altars to the master's plan...
