Your DNA's the Recipe

Your DNA's the recipe

With C, G, A and T

Your DNA's the recipe

But the baker, well, that's me.

The recipe says brown eyes,

Blonde curls, cheeky grin

But what makes you laugh, what makes you smile

Is the world you now live in.

We choose our ingredients carefully,

We take you outside to play,

We cuddle, kiss and encourage you

We tell you we love you each day.

 Your DNA made a brain like a sponge

 And we help you to fill it

 Your DNA made a beautiful smile

 And we help you to smile it.

 Your DNA made muscles

 And we help them to grow.

 But what made you sparky and funny

 I guess we'll never really know.

Your DNA's the recipe,

 Your DNA's the code.

 But what you become is down to you

 And we'll help you along the road.

 Your DNA's the recipe,

 But we'll throw in some extra bits,

 Some extra love, some extra care

 And hope it does the trick.

 Your DNA's the recipe,

 It gives us a bit of a clue.

 But how wonderfully brilliant you become,

 Is down to us...and you.
