In the dance of genes, our anthem plays,
Lies the promise of what we can be.
Watson and Crick, they saw the light,
To healing hands, the future docks.
The patterns clear, a design unseen.
The human genome, our legacy,
New hopes rise, old fears burn,
Watson and Crick began to seek.
In the dance of A and T, G and C,
In the helix form, life's guiding sight.
The code of life, soaring high.
Chargaff's rules whispered in the night,
From the simple code, a symphony,
X-ray beams through the crystal clear,
Adenine with thymine, guanine with cytosine,
From the heart of the cell to the edge of the sky,
With every twist, with every turn,
Unravelling secrets, oh, so sublime,
Gene therapy, a beacon bright,
In the heart of cells, where secrets keep,
A future of health, our genes align.
With every sequence read, a door unlocked,
Promising cures in the darkest night,
The double helix, a tale of light,
Guiding humanity through the night.
In the strands unseen by the human eyes,
Unlocking the code of destiny.
With paper and pen, they drew the line,
A dance of bases, A and T, G and C,
Franklin's images brought the structure near,
From the tiniest cell to the grand design,
In the dawn of time, life's mystery lies,
Oh, the double helix, spinning through time,
From Watson and Crick to the future's gaze,
Bases pair, and the fit was right,
A double helix, a twist divine,
