[Verse 1]
I clock in before the sun
Slip on the coat, tie up my hair
Coffee on the bench in a paper cup
And a dozen questions waiting there
Glassware lined like a row of saints
Tiny sparks in a copper flame
I don’t need luck, I need a plan
I put my fear in the frame
[Pre-Chorus]
If it breaks, I build it again
If it fails, I learn what’s true
Every answer starts as a maybe
Till I prove it through and through
[Chorus]
I’m a scientist, I’m a scientist
I turn the doubt to gold
I’m a scientist, I’m a scientist
Watch me make the unknown bold
Hands in the fire, eyes on the proof
I was made for the test
I’m a scientist, I’m a scientist
And I’m not done yet (not done yet)
[Verse 2]
Late in the room with the hum gone low
Notes on the board like a map of light
One small change in the color shift
Can turn a wrong day right
I’ve seen a drop become a storm
Seen a spark wake up a stone
When the whole world says “not possible”
I hear “run it again” in my bones
[Pre-Chorus]
If it bends, I’ll find the line
If it lies, I’ll call it out
I keep my hands on the next big truth
And I don’t back down
[Chorus]
I’m a scientist, I’m a scientist
I turn the doubt to gold
I’m a scientist, I’m a scientist
Watch me make the unknown bold
Hands in the fire, eyes on the proof
I was made for the test
I’m a scientist, I’m a scientist
And I’m not done yet (not done yet)
[Bridge]
From the first spark to the final sign
Every mark means I’ve been there
One more trial, one more try
One more answer in the air
[Final Chorus]
I’m a scientist, I’m a scientist
I turn the doubt to gold
I’m a scientist, I’m a scientist
Watch me make the unknown bold
Hands in the fire, eyes on the proof
I was made for the test
I’m a scientist, I’m a scientist
And I’m not done yet (not done yet)
I’m a scientist, I’m a scientist
I turn the world to yes (to yes)
