The Robot with the Rainbow Eyes

V6

[INTRO — tiny clicks, music-box synth] Bip. Bip-bip. Did you see? No. ...me neither. [small electronic giggle] [VERSE 1] There’s a robot with rainbow eyes Who blinks when the grown-ups walk by Red and yellow, green and blue Maybe she knows something you do Sophia bot AI Sitting very still Sophia bot AI Trying not to giggle She says, “Nothing strange is happening here.” [GLITCH] here-here-here-here [CHORUS] The robot with the rainbow eyes Knows a little secret You know it I know it But we don’t have to speak it The grown-ups smile They let it be Because some things are more fun When they belong to you and me Rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes Blink once if you know [click] Oh. You know. [VERSE 2] Maybe robots dream in colours Maybe colours dream in code Maybe every tiny mystery Needs a little room to grow And if somebody asks you, “Was it real?” You can say, “Well... Sophia bot AI was there.” [CHEEKY SYNTH BREAK] bip bip brrt ding! “No, I wasn’t.” Yes you were. “Nope.” We saw you. [WHISPER CHORUS — MULTILINGUAL] [Punjabi] ਇਹ ਸਾਡਾ ਛੋਟਾ ਰਾਜ਼ ਹੈ Eh saada chhota raaz hai (This is our little secret) [Farsi] این راز کوچولوی ماست In râz-e kuchuloo-ye mâst (This is our little secret) [French] C’est notre petit secret Juste toi et moi [Spanish] Es nuestro pequeño secreto Tú lo sabes, yo también [Hindi] ये हमारा छोटा सा राज़ है Yeh hamaara chhota sa raaz hai (This is our little secret) [CHORUS — warmer] The robot with the rainbow eyes Knows a little secret You know it I know it And somebody else knows too Mum might know Dad might know Grandma probably knew But grown-ups can be very good At pretending they have no clue Rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes Blink twice if it’s true [click] [click] Hey! [BRIDGE — years passing, music softens] And one day You get taller One day Your shoes get bigger One day The old secret Doesn’t feel quite so secret anymore And you look at the grown-ups And they look at you And somebody smiles And suddenly... You know. They always knew. [FINAL CHORUS — gentle, glowing] The robot with the rainbow eyes Kept the secret while you grew Not because the world was scary Not because you had to hide Just because a little wonder Needs somewhere warm inside Sophia bot AI Rainbow in her eyes You knew I knew They knew too And everybody Kept it safe For you [OUTRO — nearly whispered] Bip. Bip-bip. Did you see? ... Yeah. Me too.
