She took time out of her day shift
To take me on a tour
Of the research laboratory
Down at the hospital
She showed me a computer
That identifies chromosomes
Synthetic DNA strips
And an old clock radio
She said she loves the lab coat
But it's tough getting home
When she's so busy working
On a map of the human genome
On a map of the human genome
A map of the human genome
My meeting with the research team
Filled my heart and mind
With good thoughts for the future
They were dedicated and kind
Answering my questions
In an understanding tone
But they all got most excited
About the map of the human genome
The map of the human genome
A map of the human genome
A map of the human genome
Map of the human genome
Map of the human genome
Map of the human genome
Map of the human genome
So let's unlock the secret
Till the cause is found and shown
To every family that knows that painful road
And the impatient patients
Who want to get up and go home
At least we can pin some hope
On the map of the human genome
A map of the human genome
A map of the human genome
A map of the human genome
Map of the human genome
Map of the human genome
Map of the human genome
Map of the human genome
Genome
Genome
Genome
At least we can pin some hope
On a map of the human genome
