[Verse 1] That guy in the corner shop — smokes when he talks Got a limp in his walk, maybe lost in the war The waitress with the purple ink She hums a song that makes me think Who taught her that? Who broke her heart before? The barista draws a smile in my foam Looks too young to feel so alone She checks her phone like it holds the cure And I just nod like I’m sure [Chorus] 🎶 Sondering… wondering… Where they’re going, where they’ve been Tiny stories passing by All these strangers caught in time Sondering… wondering… What if their thoughts rhyme with mine? We share a sky, we share a street But never stop, just float and meet 🎶 [Verse 2] The kid with the backpack torn and taped Looks like he’s late but never escapes His eyes say “Please just see me here” But the hallway’s full of fear The man at the light with the cardboard sign Had a suit once — maybe dreams, maybe crime I wonder if someone still prays his name While I just drive past the same [Chorus – Repeat with stronger harmonies] 🎶 Sondering… wondering… Whose love letter never sent Who’s been waiting all this time For someone else to see their climb Sondering… wondering… Are they hurting just like me? So many souls, and yet we pass Like echoes trapped behind the glass 🎶 [Bridge – Soft Breakdown] We’re all just flashes in the stream Dreams inside of someone’s dream But oh… if just for once we’d see The universe behind each blink [Final Chorus – Gentle, Then Grows Again] 🎶 Sondering… wondering… Each one hiding holy things Every face a secret world A melody too shy to sing Sondering… wondering… Maybe I’ll wave next time Maybe I’ll smile a little wide Before we disappear in time 🎶
