Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The audit's done, the pressure fades
That leverage we had just evaporates
No more urgent deadlines forcing hands
InfoSec stands alone again
The crisis gave us temporary clout
Now we must build trust without the shout
Transform from watchdog into guide
Make security our shared pride

[Chorus]
Partner not police, embed the need
Build champions who can take the lead
Definition done includes our gate
Roadmap visible, don't isolate
After compliance, change the game
Shared ownership, not shifting blame

[Verse 2]
Weave security into quality's thread
No separate review, bake it in instead
Each story needs its safety clause complete
Before the team can mark it fleet
Train developers to catch the flaws
Give them knowledge, not just laws
Routine questions they can solve alone
InfoSec for complex zones

[Chorus]
Partner not police, embed the need
Build champions who can take the lead
Definition done includes our gate
Roadmap visible, don't isolate
After compliance, change the game
Shared ownership, not shifting blame

[Bridge]
Show the roadmap to engineering leads
Security investment plants the seeds
Not reactive scrambling anymore
Planned protection at the core
Champions scattered through each crew
Scaling knowledge, scaling you

[Chorus]
Partner not police, embed the need
Build champions who can take the lead
Definition done includes our gate
Roadmap visible, don't isolate
After compliance, change the game
Shared ownership, not shifting blame

[Outro]
When the audit leverage disappears
Build relationships that last for years
Embedded, championed, visible plan
Security woven by every hand
