Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the boardroom where decisions are made
A contract begins its journey today
From the first draft to the final page
Eight stages guide us every way
Authoring starts with terms we need
Negotiation plants the seed

[Chorus]
Author, negotiate, approve, execute
Review, perform, renew, terminate too
Eight stages flowing through your enterprise
Contract lifecycle before your eyes
From creation to completion's call
Eight stages managing it all

[Verse 2]
Approval chains through legal teams
Execution makes it what it seems
Now the contract lives and breathes
In systems where your data feeds
Performance tracking day by day
Monitoring what the parties say

[Chorus]
Author, negotiate, approve, execute
Review, perform, renew, terminate too
Eight stages flowing through your enterprise
Contract lifecycle before your eyes
From creation to completion's call
Eight stages managing it all

[Bridge]
Where do contracts live and grow?
In repositories they call home
CLM systems track the flow
Legal ops will always know
From procurement to the C-suite door
Every stakeholder wants more

[Verse 3]
Review time brings amendments near
Performance data crystal clear
Renewal or termination's here
The cycle ends but reappears
In organizations far and wide
These eight stages are your guide

[Chorus]
Author, negotiate, approve, execute
Review, perform, renew, terminate too
Eight stages flowing through your enterprise
Contract lifecycle before your eyes
From creation to completion's call
Eight stages managing it all

[Outro]
Contract lifecycle fundamentals true
Eight stages seeing contracts through
In legal tech the future's bright
When lifecycle management's done right
