Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Configuration starts with blocks and names
Arguments nested, providers claim their domains
Resources build the world you need to see
Data sources read what already exists, you see
HCL flows like human speech so clear
Declarative state is what we engineer

[Chorus]
Plan then apply, that's the Terraform way
Check before you change, see what's here to stay
Resources create, data sources read
State file tracks everything you need
Plan then apply, make your vision real
Infrastructure code with systematic feel

[Verse 2]
Resource blocks declare what should exist
Type and name together can't be missed
Arguments define the properties inside
Local names let references be your guide
Dependencies form a graph so neat
Terraform orders what it needs to complete

[Chorus]
Plan then apply, that's the Terraform way
Check before you change, see what's here to stay
Resources create, data sources read
State file tracks everything you need
Plan then apply, make your vision real
Infrastructure code with systematic feel

[Bridge]
Execution model maps your design
Dependency graph keeps everything in line
State refresh shows the current scene
Plan phase calculates what changes mean
Apply phase makes your blueprint true
Terraform core orchestrates for you

[Verse 3]
Data sources query what's already there
Read-only access with external care
Variables make your modules reuse
Outputs share values you can't afford to lose
State backend stores the truth you know
Remote or local, watch your data flow

[Chorus]
Plan then apply, that's the Terraform way
Check before you change, see what's here to stay
Resources create, data sources read
State file tracks everything you need
Plan then apply, make your vision real
Infrastructure code with systematic feel

[Outro]
From syntax basics to execution flow
Terraform fundamentals help your systems grow
Declarative power in every line
Infrastructure as code by design
