[Verse 1] Sarah writes compliance reports that nobody reads Technical perfection buried in the weeds Her manager squints at acronyms and codes While budgets get slashed down dangerous roads She thinks good work should advocate itself But expertise dies lonely on the shelf [Chorus] Make it legible, not promotional Bridge the gap, be devotional To clarity over credit claims Translation beats the ego games Legible work finds its voice Legible work gets the choice [Verse 2] Document your process in plain English prose Explain the "why" behind the technical shows Create executive summaries that sing Map complex workflows to simple things Your deep knowledge needs a translation layer So decision-makers become aware [Chorus] Make it legible, not promotional Bridge the gap, be devotional To clarity over credit claims Translation beats the ego games Legible work finds its voice Legible work gets the choice [Bridge] Self-promotion screams "look at me" Legibility whispers "here's what you need to see" One grabs credit, one creates space For accurate judgment to take its place Professional storytelling, not a boastful song Context and clarity help you belong [Verse 3] Share your methodology, not just conclusions Help them understand your risk exclusions Quantify impact in business terms they know Show the disasters you helped them forego Create dashboards that executives trust Turn technical mastery into organizational must [Chorus] Make it legible, not promotional Bridge the gap, be devotional To clarity over credit claims Translation beats the ego games Legible work finds its voice Legible work gets the choice [Outro] Your expertise deserves its proper stage Write yourself onto the visible page Not for ego, but for organizational health Legibility multiplies your stealth
