(Intro (Whisper over piano)) Every morning... The office wakes before the people do. Every meeting... Starts with a direction. Every direction... Comes from someone above. ... Nobody asks... Whether they agree with each other. (Choir fades in.) (Verse 1 (Talk-sing)) Yesterday's slides... Finally approved. Every colour changed. Every font aligned. Every comment resolved. Every version saved. This morning... "Can we make the background blue?" ... I smiled. Opened the file. Changed every slide. Moved every diagram. Fixed every icon. Saved again. Five minutes later... Another voice. "Blue?" "No." "Green." "The logo bigger." "The chart higher." "The title stronger." "The client likes this." "The customer prefers that." "The presentation needs more vision." ... The mouse stopped moving. The room went quiet. (Pre-Chorus) One says, "This is the priority." Another says, "No... Mine comes first." ... No one says... Who's going to tell the person Caught in the middle. ... Pick a side. (Chorus) 🎵 Can you two talk to each other... Before you ask me to decide. One direction. One final answer. Not another version tonight. I'm not here To choose who's right. I'm just here To finish my work... And go home tonight. (Verse 2 (Talk-sing)) Christmas is coming. "The decorations need to feel alive." So we moved the tree. Hung every light. Wrapped every ribbon. Lined every table. Everyone smiled. Photos were taken. ... The next morning... Another voice. "Too crowded." "Too colourful." "Move the tree." "Remove the lights." "Less decoration." "More professional." "Can we finish before lunch?" ... The scissors kept cutting. The boxes came back. The room looked exactly Like last week. (Pre-Chorus) One says, "Looks much better." Another says, "It was better before." ... The only thing That keeps changing... Is us. ... Pick a side. (Bridge (Choir builds, voices overlapping)) "Make it bigger." "Make it smaller." "Add another slide." "Remove that page." "More technical." "Less technical." "Need it today." "Can wait tomorrow." "Be innovative." "Don't take risks." "Move faster." "Don't make mistakes." "Reduce the budget." "Improve the quality." ... (Everything stops.) 🎹 Hello, Sir... We're not building Frankenstein here. Every idea... Is a good idea. But stitched together... Without one vision... It becomes... Something Nobody asked for. (Final Chorus (Full orchestra)) 🎵 Can you two talk to each other... Before another version starts. One direction. One clear answer. Not another moving target. I'm not here To play your game. I'm not here To pick a side. No time for politics. No time for pride. I just want To finish my work... ... And go home tonight. (Outro (Solo piano)) Version 28... Saved. ... Meeting tomorrow... 9:00 AM. ... (One piano note.) (Fade to black.)
