[Verse 1] When disasters strike without a warning bell Some risks we cannot dodge or expel Document the dangers we must embrace In our formal register's sacred space Risk description written crystal clear Characterize the threats that we hold dear [Chorus] Accept, record, review, decide Authority's name right by your side Date it down and schedule when We'll examine risks again Monitor the warning signs Quantify the bottom lines Acceptance Register - our shield so bright Acceptance Register - keeps records tight [Verse 2] Alternatives considered, reasons why Each option failed to catch our eye Rejected paths laid out in rows So future teams will clearly know The accepting boss must sign their name Their role and title stake their claim [Chorus] Accept, record, review, decide Authority's name right by your side Date it down and schedule when We'll examine risks again Monitor the warning signs Quantify the bottom lines Acceptance Register - our shield so bright Acceptance Register - keeps records tight [Bridge] Indicators flash when thresholds break Triggering reviews for our own sake Maximum exposure written down In dollars, time, or lost renown Black swan events may still surprise But documented risks won't catch our eyes [Verse 3] Review dates circled on the wall Scheduled checks before we fall Quantified in measurable terms How much loss our business affirms This formal log becomes our guide When uncertainty cannot hide [Final Chorus] Accept, record, review, decide Authority's name right by your side Date it down and schedule when We'll examine risks again Monitor the warning signs Quantify the bottom lines Acceptance Register - our business might Acceptance Register - continuity's light [Outro] Keep it formal, keep it true Black swan planning sees us through
