(Verse 1)
In the whirlwind of change, we find our fate,
Force proportional, contemplate.
Density times velocity, squared in air,
The drag equation, tells us what’s there.
(Chorus)
Velocity squared, a powerful force,
In the wind water’s relentless course.
As climate shifts, and speeds increase,
The damage grows, without release.
(Verse 2)
A ten-mile breeze, seems gentle and mild,
But square that velocity, see it compiled.
Twenty miles an hour, brings four times the might,
And as it doubles, the force takes flight.
(Chorus)
Velocity squared, a powerful force,
In the wind and water’s relentless course.
As climate shifts, and speeds increase,
The damage grows, without release.
(Bridge)
Water denser than air, eight hundredfold,
The force of its flow, a story untold.
As rivers rage and oceans churn,
The drag equation, we must discern.
(Verse 3)
Floods and storms, they testify,
To the power of force, as they amplify.
Sewage systems crumble, hillsides succumb,
As velocity rises, the damage becomes numb…
Damn-age becomes numb
(Chorus)
Velocity squared, a powerful force,
In the wind and water’s relentless course.
As climate shifts, and speeds increase,
The damage grows, without release.
(Outro)
So heed the lesson, the drag equation’s call,
In the face of change, we must stand tall.
For as velocities rise, and forces collide,
The future’s in our hands, where hope resides.

ABOUT THE SCIENCE
ChatGBT co-authored the lyrics utilizing this part of a research paper:
You will see that force is proportional to density times square of velocity (v^2)
