about

For Rosalind Franklin

lyrics

There is no grand scheme
Though genetics might suggest this
We're not the fever dream
Of a watchmaker in the sky
I may have inherited
A bias towards the negative
But I don't walk upon
A predetermined path

She captured images
Of the wonders of DNA
While most of us
Barely break the surface of the everyday
She captured images
Of the wonders of DNA
While most of us
Barely break the surface of the everyday

Yet another year
Trapped forever in the red
Does your chemical recipe
Constantly drag you down?
Are you doomed to push
That rock back to that mountaintop?
Or will you break the shackles
That exist just in your mind

She captured images
Of the wonders of DNA
While most of us
Barely break the surface of the everyday
She captured images
Of the miracle of DNA
While most of us
Barely break the surface of the everyday

Our footprints in the sand
Chances are will fade away
Some seem born to leave
Impressions that endure
Vision and persistence
Might be key to immortality
But the key that she had cut
Was spirited away

She captured images
Of the wonders of DNA
While most of us
Barely break the surface of the everyday
She captured images
Of the miracle of DNA
While most of us
Barely break the surface of the everyday

That double helix
It was hers before they hijacked it
Unrecognised till long after her dying day
