[Verse 1] Sarah walks into the conference room Business cards ready, smile in bloom Shakes a hundred hands throughout the day Collects contacts then walks away No follow-up calls, no coffee dates Just LinkedIn adds that sit and wait A shallow sea of names and faces Missing all the deeper places [Chorus] We're networking without intent Building bridges that just bend Staying safe in comfort zones Missing calls on ringing phones Ask for help? Oh no, not me That feels too transactional, you see We're the friendly northern way But opportunity slips away [Verse 2] Mark's got contacts coast to coast Numbers that he loves to boast Thousand followers on his feed But when he's got a pressing need Nobody picks up when he calls 'Cause he never built real walls Of trust and value, give and take Just surface bonds that easily break [Chorus] We're networking without intent Building bridges that just bend Staying safe in comfort zones Missing calls on ringing phones Ask for help? Oh no, not me That feels too transactional, you see We're the friendly northern way But opportunity slips away [Bridge] Coffee with the same old crew Talking 'bout the same old view While the leaders eat upstairs We're too polite to climb their stairs "Don't want to seem too pushy now" But being humble blocks somehow The connections that could lift us high We wave those chances goodbye [Verse 3] Lisa knows she needs a mentor Someone at the power center But she sticks with peers her level Scared to seem like she's dishevel Ed her humble, modest way Comfort zone's where she will stay Missing wisdom from above Trading growth for what feels love [Chorus] We're networking without intent Building bridges that just bend Staying safe in comfort zones Missing calls on ringing phones Ask for help? Oh no, not me That feels too transactional, you see We're the friendly northern way But opportunity slips away [Outro] Time to change our northern song Build connections deep and strong Reach up high and ask with pride Let success be our guide
