[Verse 1] Performance metrics flash across the screen tonight KPIs are climbing, everything looks bright But hidden underneath, the warning signs emerge Risk indicators whisper what the numbers can't purge A company sailing smooth while currents shift below Missing the connection that every leader needs to know [Chorus] Risk and performance dancing hand in hand You can't review just one and understand KRIs and KPIs must share the stage Together they reveal what's on each page Review the risks, review the gains They're flowing through the same blood in your veins Risk and performance, performance and risk Without both eyes open, what might you miss? [Verse 2] Near-misses tell stories that profits cannot speak Emerging trends are brewing while your quarterly looks sleek Root cause analysis digs deeper than the sale Was it brilliant execution or did we just roll the dice and sail?
