Before You Arrive

Hey little one, whoever you are

You'll soon be arriving from somewhere afar

We'll do all we can to make certain you're safe

That the rough and the tumble don't chafe

Before you arrive we'll try to clear the weeds from your way

Try to keep the monsters at bay

Try to find you a safe place to play

Plant a garden where you can thrive

Before you arrive

Hey little one, we can't wait to see

What kind of a person you'll turn out to be

We're planning ahead, yeah, we're doing our best

To make sure that you like your new nest

Before you arrive we'll try to make a space just for you

Clear a place in our little zoo

Like the woman who lived in a shoe

We'll be busy bees in our hive

Before you arrive

Before you arrive

Anticipation has been rising

Like eagles in the sky

Your new family fantasizing

How high you might fly

Before you arrive we'll try to clear the weeds from your way

Try to keep the monsters at bay

Try to find you a safe place to play

Plant a garden where you can thrive

Before you arrive

Before you arrive

Before you arrive

Before you arrive
