Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tech companies huddle with defence contractors today
Building gadgets that work both night and day
A smartphone sensor becomes a missile's eye
While GPS guides both pizza trucks and spy satellites by

[Chorus]
Dual-use magic, sharing the load
Industry partnership, splitting the code
Risk gets divided, innovation flows
Canada's defence through collaboration grows
D-U-A-L, that's the way
Civilian tech meets military play

[Verse 2]
Quantum computers crack both passwords and cure disease
Drones deliver packages or patrol the seas
Artificial intelligence sorts your photos clean
Then scans the battlefield through cameras unseen

[Chorus]
Dual-use magic, sharing the load
Industry partnership, splitting the code
Risk gets divided, innovation flows
Canada's defence through collaboration grows
D-U-A-L, that's the way
Civilian tech meets military play

[Bridge]
When private firms invest their cash
And government shares research stash
The gamble spreads across the team
Making breakthrough tech supreme
Faster progress, lower cost
No single player gets lost

[Verse 3]
Cybersecurity shields your banking app
Same encryption guards the military map
Satellite networks beam your Netflix show
Track enemy movements the generals need to know

[Chorus]
Dual-use magic, sharing the load
Industry partnership, splitting the code
Risk gets divided, innovation flows
Canada's defence through collaboration grows
D-U-A-L, that's the way
Civilian tech meets military play

[Outro]
From laboratory bench to battlefield ground
Shared innovation makes Canada sound
Dual-use technology, the future's here
Protection and progress, crystal clear
