Lyrics
Verse 1:
Instead of trying to produce
A programme to simulate the adult mind,
Why not rather try to introduce
One that simulates a child's kind?
Pre-Chorus:
If this were then subjected
To an appropriate course of education,
One would obtain the adult brain,
Through gradual maturation.
Chorus:
Our hope is that there is,
So little mechanism in the child-brain,
That something like it can be,
Easily programmed and trained.
The amount of work in education,
We can assume, as a first approximation,
To be much the same as for the human child.
We have thus divided our problem into two parts.
Beat Drop:
The child-programme and the education process,
Step by step, progress by progress.
Building blocks of knowledge,
Through learning, we acknowledge.
Verse 2:
In the vast expanse of potential,
Lies a mind so gentle, so essential.
With each lesson and each new day,
The child-programme finds its way.
Pre-Chorus:
Nurtured through structured learning,
Curiosity forever burning.
From simple thoughts to complex plans,
Growth in the mind, expanding spans.
Chorus:
Our hope is that there is,
So little mechanism in the child-brain,
That something like it can be,
Easily programmed and trained.
The amount of work in education,
We can assume, as a
[Bridge]
Imagination’s endless flight,
Guided by the beacon of light.
From child to mind so bright,
In the program, we ignite.
Chorus:
Our hope is that there is,
So little mechanism in the child-brain,
That something like it can be,
Easily programmed and trained.
The amount of work in education,
We can assume, as a first approximation,
To be much the same as for the human child.
We have thus divided our problem into two parts.
[Outro]
The child-programme and the education process,
Together forming a mind that's timeless.
From the spark of youth to wisdom’s peak,
In the program, our answers we seek.
