Lyrics:
Verse 1
Late-night screens in a quiet lab glow
Names become numbers, then rivers that flow
We stitch the world’s data, careful and true
Looking for patterns that lead us to you
Pre-Chorus
Different roots, different routes, same storm inside
We won’t leave a single signal behind
From scattered small sparks to a brighter design
Chorus
Light it up, light it up—neon in the night
Turn the noise into a pathway, make the future right
Every shared line, every open door
Brings the cure a little closer than it was before
Verse 2
Some clues point to shadows that clump and cling
Some to the engines that fail to sing
Lysosomes, mitochondria—breaking down slow
But cross every border and the answers show
Bridge
Train new hands, build new rooms, let knowledge land
So discovery rises where it couldn’t stand
One big map drawn in electric hues
A thousand new chances we refuse to lose
Final Chorus
Light it up, light it up—neon in the night
Stronger together, clearer vision, higher height
From every genome, a more honest view
We’re finding the switches—and learning what to do
