[Verse 1]
Sarah faced the boardroom, quarterly numbers down
Team of thirty faces, some confused, some wearing frowns
She could just announce it: "We're restructuring today"
But wisdom whispered softer: start with why, then show the way
[Chorus]
First the why, then what comes next
Acknowledge loss, don't skip context
Trust's the tempo, not your clock
Early birds unlock the block
Progress parties, outcome gold
Change through hearts, not just control
[Verse 2]
"Market shifted wildly, customers demand more speed
That's the reason we must pivot, plant a different seed"
But Marcus spoke up trembling: "What about our old routine?"
Smart leaders name the grieving for the world that's been
[Chorus]
First the why, then what comes next
Acknowledge loss, don't skip context
Trust's the tempo, not your clock
Early birds unlock the block
Progress parties, outcome gold
Change through hearts, not just control
[Bridge]
Jennifer and David nod, they see tomorrow's prize
Coach them as your champions, let excitement rise
While others need more time to process what's at stake
Push too fast, you'll hit the wall resistance always makes
[Verse 3]
Week three brings a breakthrough, two departments aligned
Toast the small victories, keep the big goal in mind
Not just final destination, honor every mile
Change blooms in the journey when you celebrate the while
[Chorus]
First the why, then what comes next
Acknowledge loss, don't skip context
Trust's the tempo, not your clock
Early birds unlock the block
Progress parties, outcome gold
Change through hearts, not just control
[Outro]
Transform through understanding
Not demanding
Guide the landing
Change commanding
