Lyrics:
Verse 1
White coats, bright screens, another long night
A question lands heavy but it’s asking for light
Not just who can order, but who holds the line
So no one gets lost between numbers and time
Pre-Chorus
Pass it at the right step, don’t drop the thread
From first hint of worry to the words that get read
Build a path that fits the patient in front of you
Make it clear, make it real, make it something we can do
Chorus
There are four ways to carry the light through the hall
To-test, to-result, to-navigation—then autonomous calls
And six moving dials that decide what’s best
So we can open the door and let the system breathe again
Verse 2
Patient, disease, the test, the report in your hand
The clinician’s time, and the shape of the land
Education like oxygen, workflows re-drawn
Knowing when to bring genetics in—when to lean on
Bridge
We don’t need a maze, we need shared ground rules
A common set of words, a clean set of tools
Compare what we build, learn what we change
Turn access into action, make the future less strange
Final Chorus
There are four ways to carry the light through the hall
To-test, to-result, to-navigation—then autonomous calls
With six moving dials, we can tune what’s next
So more hands can help, and more people get their answer
