[Intro – soft pads, rolling bass, hand percussion] Mmm… who paints the sky… Every minute a new stroke… [Verse 1 – intimate, close-mic] Dawn cracks open like a quiet gift Soft gold brushes the edge of the night I stand still, hands empty, heart listening Wondering who keeps painting this light Hours unfold in colors I never chose A stranger’s smile, a sudden breath of rain Unseen hands move across the canvas of time Leaving new treasures where the old ones fade [Pre-Chorus – lifted phrasing] Every minute arrives with a secret Every hour holds a brush I can’t see The sky keeps changing above me And life keeps painting inside me [Chorus – layered harmonies, warm and wide] Who paints the sky? Who paints these gifts in the quiet of day? Who paints the sky? New colors rising while I’m looking away Who paints the sky? Stroke by stroke, minute by minute Who paints the sky? Leaving me richer than I ever knew it [Drop – spacious, repetitive, organic percussion] Who paints… who paints the sky… New gifts… new gifts… Who paints… who paints the sky… Unseen… unseen… [Verse 2 – intimate again] Noon burns bright with a borrowed fire Afternoon shadows stretch long and kind A forgotten song finds its way back home Another gift the hours left behind I used to chase the perfect shade of blue Tried to name every color before it came Now I just open my eyes a little wider And let the unseen painter do the same [Pre-Chorus] Every minute arrives with a secret Every hour holds a brush I can’t see The sky keeps changing above me And life keeps painting inside me [Chorus] Who paints the sky? Who paints these gifts in the quiet of day? Who paints the sky? New colors rising while I’m looking away Who paints the sky? Stroke by stroke, minute by minute Who paints the sky? Leaving me richer than I ever knew it [Bridge – sparse, emotional] Maybe the painter is time itself Maybe the gifts are already mine Maybe the sky is just a mirror Showing me how the hours shine [Final Chorus / Outro Drop – full layered vocals, fading reverb] Who paints the sky… Who paints the sky… Every minute… every hour… New unseen gifts… Who paints the sky… Who paints… the sky…
