Song Lyrics
Verse 1:
My nerves are little wires so thin,
They're all over me, outside and in!
They help my body talk and feel,
My nerves are awesome and so real!
Chorus:
Go, nerves, go, you are so fast!
My body's messages are built to last!
Go, nerves, go, you are a team,
My body's little communication stream!
Verse 2:
My nerves can feel a gentle touch,
Or a big hug I like so much!
They tell my brain if something's hot or cold,
A feeling story to be told!
Chorus:
Go, nerves, go, you are so fast!
My body's messages are built to last!
Go, nerves, go, you are a team,
My body's little communication stream!
Verse 3:
My nerves send signals to my feet,
To make me run down the street.
They tell my muscles when to move,
With a little signal and a groove!
Chorus:
Go, nerves, go, you are so fast!
My body's messages are built to last!
Go, nerves, go, you are a team,
My body's little communication stream!
Verse 4:
When something's hot, my nerves are quick,
They pull my hand back with a flick!
They send a signal in a flash,
My super nerves are built for a dash!
Chorus:
Go, nerves, go, you are so fast!
My body's messages are built to last!
Go, nerves, go, you are a team,
My body's little communication stream!

FAQs
What are nerves?
Nerves are bundles of cells that carry messages between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body.
How fast do nerve messages travel?
Some nerve signals travel very quickly, especially in nerves wrapped with myelin, a coating that helps messages move efficiently.
What is a reflex?
A reflex is a fast automatic response. Some reflexes travel through the spinal cord before the brain fully processes what happened.
How do nerves help us feel the world?
Sensory nerves detect touch, pressure, temperature, pain, and body position, then send that information to the brain.
