[Intro – soft ticking rhythm made from finger snaps and glass taps, airy humming in the background] [Verse 1 – very fast whisper-singing, playful and mysterious] I saw a strange little sun in the corner of the sky Tiny golden heartbeat blinking as I walked by It said “Hey traveler slow down just a second” I got stories in the wind you haven’t reckoned People pass like rivers made of yesterday dust Running through the minutes like the minutes gonna rust But the sky keeps laughing in electric blue light Saying “Maybe every wrong turn’s secretly right.” [Pre-Chorus – voice rising, rhythm building] Oh the world spins weird and wide Tiny storms in every mind If you listen close enough You can hear the hidden kind [Chorus – bright but slightly strange melody] Hello strange little sun Where you hiding all that gold Every step we ever take Turns the unknown into home Hello strange little sun In the corners of the day You remind the wandering hearts That the world is here to play [Instrumental – unusual rhythm made of hand percussion and airy flute notes] [Verse 2 – quick rhythmic delivery, playful curiosity] Every alley got a secret in a cardboard box Every rooftop got a rumor from the talking clocks Every laugh in the dark lights another spark Like a firefly orchestra inside your heart Maybe we’re just travelers with glitter in our shoes Running through the universe inventing tiny truths And the moon writes notes on invisible lines That say “Everything’s strange but it’ll be fine.” [Pre-Chorus – soft, dreamy] Oh the world spins wild and slow More than anyone can know Every stranger passing by Got a secret glow [Chorus – bigger, layered voices] Hello strange little sun Where you hiding all that gold Every step we ever take Turns the unknown into home Hello strange little sun In the corners of the day You remind the wandering hearts That the world is here to play [Bridge – whisper spoken rhythm] Listen close… The quiet things are loud. The small things are stars. And the strange things… Are where the magic starts. [Final Chorus – joyful and soaring] Hello strange little sun Shining somewhere out of sight Every laugh becomes a spark In the middle of the night Hello strange little sun Guide the dreamers as they roam Every wandering soul alive Is already halfway home [Outro – humming, soft flute fading]
