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