Pre-ChorusNot every break can be mended the same,You have to name the mechanism, trace the flame.From splice to skip to turning down the noise,We measure the maybes, we sharpen the choice. ChorusFive tiers of light in the dark of the code,A map for the moments where hope can be owed.Eligible, likely—then we slow the pace,Unlikely, not—when the fit’s out of place.And when we can’t tell, we keep asking “why,”’Cause tomorrow’s evidence teaches us to try. Verse 2Some cuts want stitching, some lines want to fold,Some messages soften when silence is told.Knock down the wrong note, lift up what is true,Bring the wild-type signal back into view. BridgeSo we train our eyes with examples that hold,Decision trees branching like stories retold.A calculator humming, a steady refrain,Prioritize patients, don’t gamble with pain.And year after year, as the field gets new sight,We’ll rewrite the guide by the data’s light. Final ChorusFive tiers of light in the dark of the code,A compass for rescue on a hard-won road.Eligible, likely—let the pathway align,Unlikely, not—let the boundary be kind.And when we can’t tell, we don’t call it goodbye,We call it the start of a better “why.”
