Lyrics:Verse 1In the quiet of the lab, the midnight screens glow brightThreads of code in DNA, a fragile filament of lightA single change at the tail can slip right out of sightWhispers through the benches ask if what we knew was right Pre-ChorusNot every broken sentence gets swept into the darkSome endings linger, folding in a different partWe trace the splice, we watch the altered beating heart ChorusSo we test, we map, we bring those late lines into lightTurn uncertain notes to answers in the nightFor newborns and the families waiting for a signWe validate the story, stitch the science into life Verse 2We run the gels and read the blots, the assays speak the truthWhat predictions claim still needs the proof of proofA variant that escapes the rule can shift the frameSo steady hands and patient minds call every change by name BridgeIt takes a tender kind of care to read what cells designTo learn that endings change the plot and meaning redefinesWe don't stop at the first guess; we follow every line Final ChorusSo we test, we map, we bring those late lines into lightTurn uncertain notes to answers in the nightFor families waiting at the dawn, for clearer signs to findWe validate the story, stitch the science into life
