Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From billable hours to product dreams
Trading legal briefs for engineering teams
Your expertise in contracts and compliance
Now becomes your strategic alliance
Understanding risk is still your game
But stakeholders call you by a different name

[Chorus]
Make the leap, learn to speak
In sprints and metrics, find your peak
Legal mind meets product heart
That's your competitive head start
User stories, market needs
Your lawyer skills plant product seeds

[Verse 2]
Client counseling translates well
To user research you can tell
Negotiating deals prepares you for
Cross-functional teams and so much more
Due diligence becomes discovery
Turning insights into delivery

[Chorus]
Make the leap, learn to speak
In sprints and metrics, find your peak
Legal mind meets product heart
That's your competitive head start
User stories, market needs
Your lawyer skills plant product seeds

[Bridge]
Learn the language of APIs
Master roadmaps and MVPs
Your analytical thinking stays
But now you're building, not just weighing
Technical debt is real as legal
Agile mindset, be an eagle

[Verse 3]
Revenue models need your eye
For terms of service, privacy
Regulatory knowledge is gold
When bringing products to unfold
Bridge the gap 'tween law and tech
Your hybrid skills earn respect

[Chorus]
Make the leap, learn to speak
In sprints and metrics, find your peak
Legal mind meets product heart
That's your competitive head start
User stories, market needs
Your lawyer skills plant product seeds

[Outro]
From counselor to product lead
Your legal training helps you succeed
Make the leap, make the leap
Your lawyer foundation runs deep
