[Verse 1]
Sarah codes the backend, Mike designs the face
Different desks, different dreams, working separate space
Tech says "three more sprints," Product screams "ship now"
Deadlines crashing, tempers flashing, gotta fix this somehow
[Chorus]
A-L-I-G-N, sync your visions to the sky
T-E-N-S-I-O-N, healthy friction makes us fly
S-H-A-R-E the load, walk together down this road
CTO-CPO, partnership makes magic flow
[Verse 2]
Weekly coffee meetings, speaking truth with care
Sarah shows her bottlenecks, Mike reveals what's rare
Features that the users crave versus scalable ground
Technical debt discussions where solutions can be found
[Chorus]
A-L-I-G-N, sync your visions to the sky
T-E-N-S-I-O-N, healthy friction makes us fly
S-H-A-R-E the load, walk together down this road
CTO-CPO, partnership makes magic flow
[Bridge]
When the servers melt at midnight
Product owns the user pain
When the metrics paint disaster
Engineering takes the strain
Shared accountability, transparent honesty
Two minds solving puzzles that neither sees
[Verse 3]
Roadmap negotiations, trading speed for scope
Mike brings market signals, Sarah brings the hope
"Can we cache this query?" "Will it move the needle?"
Speaking both languages, finding middle ground that's peaceful
[Chorus]
A-L-I-G-N, sync your visions to the sky
T-E-N-S-I-O-N, healthy friction makes us fly
S-H-A-R-E the load, walk together down this road
CTO-CPO, partnership makes magic flow
[Outro]
Alignment breeds the future
Tension sharpens every choice
Sharing makes us stronger
Two leaders, single voice
