Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the boardroom where decisions bloom
Mission statement cuts through gloom
Not just words on fancy walls
These are anchors when chaos calls
Vision paints tomorrow's frame
Core values stake your claim
Three foundations carved in stone
Before you build your business throne

[Chorus]
Mission, Vision, Values first
Anchors hold when markets burst
M-V-V before you plan
Strategy flows from where you stand
Don't let your compass drift away
These three pillars guide the way
When risk appetite goes astray
Check your anchors every day

[Verse 2]
Strategy without these roots
Becomes a tree that bears no fruits
Objectives floating in the air
Crash and burn without this care
If your ethics feel rehearsed
Something's broken, something's cursed
Either values ring untrue
Or your strategy's askew

[Chorus]
Mission, Vision, Values first
Anchors hold when markets burst
M-V-V before you plan
Strategy flows from where you stand
Don't let your compass drift away
These three pillars guide the way
When risk appetite goes astray
Check your anchors every day

[Bridge]
COSO ribbon starts right here
Purpose crystal, crystal clear
Aspirations taking flight
Boundaries keep you upright
When the framework feels complex
These three anchors genuflect
Every choice must align
With this foundational design

[Chorus]
Mission, Vision, Values first
Anchors hold when markets burst
M-V-V before you plan
Strategy flows from where you stand
Don't let your compass drift away
These three pillars guide the way
When risk appetite goes astray
Check your anchors every day

[Outro]
Not decorative, not pretend
On these anchors you depend
ERM ribbon's starting gate
Mission, Vision, Values wait
