[Verse 1] Picture a company sailing the seas Every wave could sink them or fill up their sails The captain who only sees hurricanes freeze While the one chasing treasure inevitably fails Risk wears two faces in boardroom debates Both the poison and cure that determines your fate [Chorus] Threat and opportunity, two sides spinning Risk is the coin that keeps on winning Downside danger, upside gold COSO teaches us to hold Both perspectives in our sight Balance brings the greater might Threat and opportunity [Verse 2] The framework of twenty-seventeen made it clear Risk isn't just something that makes you afraid It's the fuel for growth when you shift your gear From avoiding all storms to the moves that get made A zebra that only sees lions will starve While the lion that's reckless gets caught off guard [Chorus] Threat and opportunity, two sides spinning Risk is the coin that keeps on winning Downside danger, upside gold COSO teaches us to hold Both perspectives in our sight Balance brings the greater might Threat and opportunity [Bridge] Too much caution strangles creation Too much boldness breeds devastation Enterprise management knows the art Of reading risk with mind and heart The upside lifts, the downside warns Value blooms where wisdom forms [Chorus] Threat and opportunity, two sides spinning Risk is the coin that keeps on winning Downside danger, upside gold COSO teaches us to hold Both perspectives in our sight Balance brings the greater might Threat and opportunity [Outro] Every risk assessment starts this way Dual orientation lights the day Threat and opportunity
