Behind the Song... Net & Key II

Happy to share the story behind this new little ditty written in honor of my friends Nikki and Janet, and their new little bundle of joy who will be arriving on planet Earth very shortly! I wrote the original "Net & Key" (a play off their names) for their wedding a few years back, so I decided to continue with the theme. The lyrics are pretty straightforward and simple since I was going for a lullaby feel. I just wanted to highlight how sometimes kids grow up to absorb so many of their parents' traits, yet they still develop completely unique personalities. I also wanted to express how happy I am that Nikki and Janet are the kind of people who I know will commit to parenting with total grace and support for each other, and total love and encouragement for their child. Can't wait to meet the baby bean!

Lyrics:
1. Maybe you’ll like telling jokes
Maybe you’ll like reading poems
Maybe you’ll like something we don’t

We’ll probably mess something up
Like misplace your best sippy cup
If it gets hard enough to give up, we won’t

CHORUS
We’re building a home for you
A place you can grow into 
Anything you want to be
You will be safe with us
We’ll earn your faith, your love, your trust
Give you our heart, net, and key

2. Maybe you’ll cheer for the Bears
Maybe speak French, eat Eclairs
Maybe you’ll do something brand new 

We’re gonna learn as you grow
We’re gonna teach what we know
If you wonder who loves you the most, we do
