(Verse 1)
\nIn the whirlwind of change, we find our fate,
\nForce proportional, contemplate.
\nDensity times velocity, squared in air,
\nThe drag equation, tells us what’s there.<\/p>\n

(Chorus)
\nVelocity squared, a powerful force,
\nIn the wind water’s relentless course.
\nAs climate shifts, and speeds increase,
\nThe damage grows, without release.<\/p>\n

(Verse 2)
\nA ten-mile breeze, seems gentle and mild,
\nBut square that velocity, see it compiled.
\nTwenty miles an hour, brings four times the might,
\nAnd as it doubles, the force takes flight.<\/p>\n

(Chorus)
\nVelocity squared, a powerful force,
\nIn the wind and water’s relentless course.
\nAs climate shifts, and speeds increase,
\nThe damage grows, without release.<\/p>\n

(Bridge)
\nWater denser than air, eight hundredfold,
\nThe force of its flow, a story untold.
\nAs rivers rage and oceans churn,
\nThe drag equation, we must discern.<\/p>\n

(Verse 3)
\nFloods and storms, they testify,
\nTo the power of force, as they amplify.
\nSewage systems crumble, hillsides succumb,
\nAs velocity rises, the damage becomes numb…
\nDamn-age becomes numb<\/p>\n

(Chorus)
\nVelocity squared, a powerful force,
\nIn the wind and water’s relentless course.
\nAs climate shifts, and speeds increase,
\nThe damage grows, without release.<\/p>\n

(Outro)
\nSo heed the lesson, the drag equation’s call,
\nIn the face of change, we must stand tall.
\nFor as velocities rise, and forces collide,
\nThe future’s in our hands, where hope resides.<\/p>\n
