Discover the story of the song > Scorn Not His Simplicity – luke kelly

The song is about a child who looks normal on the outside, but who is different on the inside. He doesn't play like the other children and he doesn't understand familiar faces anymore. His mother used to be happy when she had him, but now she is sad because he can't enjoy things like other children. Despite having a future surrounded by despair, the child doesn't ask for pity. Instead, he just wants people to love and care for him.
