The Brain is the Reason we Function

LYRICS
verse
the brain is the reason we function
the stem sends the signals from my
brain throughout my body
with the help of pons
that coordinate movement
to the cerebellum

the frontal lobes in the forehead
it helps us convey expression
and see the world around us
the amygdala
helps perceives emotions
in the temporal lobe

pre-chorus
my thalamus sends information
and regulates my alertness
this dancing’s affecting my breathing
i need my medulla to save me

chorus
broca’s area motors speech
helps us speak
by process of broca’s aphasia
wernicke’s area develops language
produces
all of the worlds speech comprehension

verse 2
the parietal lobe is divided
it processes sensory info
like mathematics
and makes it easy
the structures are connected
in the lymbic system

pre-chorus
the occipital lobe helps us process
color and face recognition
the brain has subcortical structures
that meet at the corpus callosum

chorus 2
in the central core of the brain stem’s
a portion
called the reticular formation
it passes through the medulla, pons, and it stops
right in the center of the brain

bridge
the body’s internal balance
is linked together by the
hypothalamus
the hippocampus
helps form our memories

chorus
to function, yeah
to function, yeah
to function
the brain is the reason we function
to function, yeah
to function, yeah
to function
the brain is the reason we function

Function
