lyrics
[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
He ran, he ran
Oh-oh, oh-oh
To chase the sun
[Verse 1]
There was a boy by the edge of town
He drew little maps when the rain came down
He built a boat from a door and string
And said every road had a song to sing
His mother smiled, his father shook his head
“The world is wider than the dreams you’ve said”
But in his pocket, folded carefully
Was a note from a girl by the old oak tree
[Pre-Chorus]
Go where you go, do what you do
Every road will lead me back to you
[Chorus]
He chased the sun, chased the sun
With a paper compass and his heart on the run
Over every mountain, over every sea
Looking for the place where his heart could be
He chased the sun, chased the sun
Till a thousand roads became only one
Oh-oh, wherever he would roam
The sun kept leading him home
[Verse 2]
He crossed the valleys and followed trains
Slept in stations and walked through rain
He learned every language that kindness knew
And sent one message: “I’m coming to you”
The years rolled on, but she kept the key
To the little green house by the old oak tree
Then one bright morning, the gate swung wide
He stood there smiling with the world in his eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Every line on every map
Turned into a road that brought him back
[Chorus]
He chased the sun, chased the sun
With a paper compass and his heart on the run
Over every mountain, over every sea
Looking for the place where his heart could be
He chased the sun, chased the sun
Till a thousand roads became only one
Oh-oh, wherever he would roam
The sun kept leading him home
[Bridge – Female Vocal]
I kept the window open
I knew you’d find the way
Some hearts cross the whole wide world
To choose the place they stay
[Bridge – Male Vocal]
I saw a thousand wonders
But none could make me stay
The greatest thing I ever found
Was waiting here each day
[Final Chorus – Duet]
We chased the sun, chased the sun
Now the longest journey has finally been won
Over every mountain, over every sea
You were always waiting at the end for me
We chased the sun, chased the sun
And a thousand roads became only one
Oh-oh, no matter where we roam
Love will always lead us home
[Outro]
Oh-oh, we chased the sun
Oh-oh, and we found our home
Oh-oh, oh-oh
He ran, he ran
Oh-oh, oh-oh
To chase the sun
[Verse 1]
There was a boy by the edge of town
He drew little maps when the rain came down
He built a boat from a door and string
And said every road had a song to sing
His mother smiled, his father shook his head
“The world is wider than the dreams you’ve said”
But in his pocket, folded carefully
Was a note from a girl by the old oak tree
[Pre-Chorus]
Go where you go, do what you do
Every road will lead me back to you
[Chorus]
He chased the sun, chased the sun
With a paper compass and his heart on the run
Over every mountain, over every sea
Looking for the place where his heart could be
He chased the sun, chased the sun
Till a thousand roads became only one
Oh-oh, wherever he would roam
The sun kept leading him home
[Verse 2]

Slept in stations and walked through rain
He learned every language that kindness knew
And sent one message: “I’m coming to you”

Turned into a road that brought him back

With a paper compass and his heart on the run
Over every mountain, over every sea
Looking for the place where his heart could be

Oh-oh, no matter where we roam
Love will always lead us home
[Outro]
Oh-oh, we chased the sun
Oh-oh, and we found our home

Warm expressive male lead vocal with clear diction and natural tone, gentle female vocal responses, romantic male-female duet in the bridge and final chorus. Storytelling verses, gradually rising pre-chorus, huge joyful singalong chorus built around the repeated phrase “chased the sun”. Short instrumental pauses, dynamic orchestral transitions and an emotional half-time bridge. Catchy, organic, adventurous and heartwarming. No EDM drop, no heavy kick, no rap, no aggressive electronic bass.
