about

It wasn’t until Niko came along that I understood what it means to love a child.

Hidden Track:
At Rosebud Theatre, the cast gathers 5 minutes before showtime to pray before each show. We all take hands and sometimes there is silence before someone begins to speak. Sometimes a prayer must rise above the happy chatter and laughter of the group. And sometimes, (my favourite times), one voice begins to sing the Doxology, and one by one the rest of the voices join in. This hidden track is my expression of gratitude and celebration of what I consider to be the source of all good things. Singing it on the album are the very people I join hands with day to day. I’ve captured it here so that when I’m 80, and some of these loved ones are gone, this beautiful moment will still exist.

lyrics

I remember the day your momma told me, told me that you were on the way
I remember the look on her face; a look of fear and confident grace

How she fought for you
Cause she wanted you
It’s a thing that mommas do

I remember the weight of your tiny foot pressed through her skin and into my hand
And I remember as your time drew nearer, I couldn’t wait

To meet you in your tiny size
To look into your brilliant eyes
You were such a lovely surprise

N-I-K-O

I love the way you say my name,I love the way you laugh at our little game, because I know you, I’m not the same
Darlin’ you are one of a kind, you’ve got the most brilliant mind, your heart is loving and kind

Niko, it’s my favorite thing
To see you grow your little bitty wings
You’re gonna do great things

N-I-K-O
