Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah fixed the breach before it bloomed
Database locked down, disaster groomed
But silence swallowed her prevention tale
While credit flows to those who never fail
The boss saw symptoms, not the cure
Her invisible shield stays insecure

[Chorus]
Counterfactuals need a voice to sing
What disasters never took their wing
Frame your pre-work, paint the scene
Show the problems you've foreseen
Visibility is your hidden key
Make your strategic victories free

[Verse 2]
Before the project breathes its first decree
Write the framework others need to see
"Here's the landscape, here's the threat ahead"
But pushback whispers "waste of time" instead
They want results, not preparation's art
Your planning genius torn apart

[Chorus]
Counterfactuals need a voice to sing
What disasters never took their wing
Frame your pre-work, paint the scene
Show the problems you've foreseen
Visibility is your hidden key
Make your strategic victories free

[Bridge]
Where does your brilliance disappear?
Backend fixes crystal clear
Midnight patches, silent wins
Excellence that no one pins
On your record, on your name
Playing the invisible game

[Verse 3]
Document the storms you redirect
Transform your stealth into respect
Send memos thick with what went wrong
That would have been without your song
Prevention beats the cleanup crew
But only if they notice you

[Chorus]
Counterfactuals need a voice to sing
What disasters never took their wing
Frame your pre-work, paint the scene
Show the problems you've foreseen
Visibility is your hidden key
Make your strategic victories free

[Outro]
Sarah learned to tell her tale
Now her shields will never fail
To win the recognition due
Strategic minds like me and you
