(Climb Every Mountain, The Sound of Music)
Grow every stem cell
Search every gene
Sequence every Exome
Till you find the key
Misfolded proteins
Clumping in my brain
Please disaggregate my
Alpha synuclein
Drill a hole in my brain
See how deep you can go
Then insert some old tube
Filled with a placebo
I’ve got dysfunctional
Mitochondria
Lack of Dopa in my
Basal ganglia
There’s a breakthrough out there,
But there’s one thing I wish
That you give it to us,
Not to rats or to fish
Grow every stem cell
Search every gene
Sequence every Exome
Till you cure Pd
