lyrics

In a family room in Boston a father stands with his baby in his hands
He asks "Why? Why do you have those brown eyes? Why do you look like your mother?"

In a parking lot in Stanford a woman stands with a bottle in her hands
She asks "Why? Why do I need this so much? Why can't I change my life?"

They carry a code (DNA)
it's the language of life (DNA)
the lyrics of your inner song

At a lab bench in Bethesda a student stands with a test tube in her hands
She asks "Why? Why do I see this pattern? What's the rest of the story?"

She's cracking the code (DNA)
of the language of life (DNA)
she's learning how to sing the song

G A T C
C G T A
G A T C
C G T A
Find out what it means to me
Just may say your life some day

In a hospital room in Fairfax
a doctor stands holding her patient's hands
"Don't you cry. You're very sick, but there's good news.
There's much more we can do."

Because we know the code (DNA)
of the language of life (DNA)
the lyrics of your inner song
