Lyrics:
The story of sight begins with light,
Bouncing off an object!
Entering the eye and makin' its way on through!
First, it's focused, then rearranged,
Into electrical signals that reach the brain
Then, voila, sit back and enjoy the view!

When light from an object meets your eye,
The first layer that is greeted by,
Is the cornea which protects the eye,
And focuses the light!
Then it passes through the pupil,
A hole surrounded by
This ring of color called the iris!
It controls the pupil size,
So the right amount of light goes in the eyes!
And then hits the lens,
Which is sorta like a window, except it bends!
And exactly how it bends depends,
Are you lookin' near or far?
Then the light shines on the retina,
Which is lined with zones of special cells called rods and cones!
And when the light hits those, it gets transformed into signals,
That go climb aboard your little optic nerve,
Which sends 'em toward the brain,
Which does the rest! (Yeah, yeah!)

The story of sight begins with light,
Bouncing off an object!
Entering the eye and makin' it's way on through!
First, it's focused and then rearranged,
Into electrical signals that reach the brain,
Then, voila, sit back and enjoy the view!
