ABOUT:
“Till The Sun Comes Home” tells the story of a child who, frightened by a menacing storm, was comforted with the belief that the rain will pass and the sun will shine again.

The storm is a metaphor for the outbreak of Covid-19 which has majorly disrupted lives and livelihoods. The child’s range of emotions – fear of the heavy downpour, sadness and frustration at not being able to head outside to play, and sense of uncertainty as to when the rain will end – all echo the sentiments shared by people during this period of time. 

The song aims to bring comfort, to uplift spirits, and to inspire hope and courage. For at some point, the rain will end, and the sun will come home.


MESSAGE FROM SONG COLLABORATORS:

"Watching the pandemic unfold in front of my eyes and seeing my fellow brothers and sisters in humanity suffer in a multitude of ways, I think to myself: I am just one ordinary person. What can I do for anyone, let alone the world now?

I am only one, but I am one.

For those who are going through a hard time, I pray that our little efforts can give you support and that you can draw solace and strength from this song to face the tribulations that come your way.  I pray that you will keep the faith even in the darkest of hours and never lose compassion for those who are suffering just like you. I pray that you will rise above all challenges ahead and emerge a better, wiser you. I pray that we will stand together in times good or bad, and not let any circumstance divide us. 

You’re not alone and this too shall pass.
Have faith." 

Love, 
Dawn

“In this time of great difficulty, I am encouraged by the actions of so many people from all walks of life – some putting their own lives on the line to save lives, others giving of their time, resource and energy to bring relief to others. I hope my words bring comfort to those who need it, and remind us all to have faith and courage, to rally together, to help one another, and trust that ‘this, too, shall pass.”

[Till the Sun Come Home]
Vocalist: Paige Wang Yu Xuan 
Melody: Dawn Chen
Lyrics: Terence Quek

Lyrics: 
There’s not a sound
Out on the merry-go-round
It’s all gone quiet
Usual’s no longer around

I hear you say
“Why can’t we go out and play?”
I wish I could
Turn all the dark clouds away

Don’t let your heart sigh
Someday you’ll realise
When you look back
How much you’ve grown
Trust that this, too, shall pass

Chorus:
Here comes the rain now
But you’re not alone
I’m by your side
I’ll shelter and guide
Together we’ll face the storm

We’re in the rain now
Have faith it will end
Stand side by side
Don’t let fear divide
Soon the sun will come home

Bridge:
Maybe the clouds above
Seem heavy and dreary now 
But wait.. there’s a rainbow, reaching for you

Chorus:
Here comes, here comes the rain now
But we’re not alone
Love is our guide
Courage in stride
Come let’s ride out the storm

We’ll come out stronger
We’ll be much wiser too
Till the rain ends
Till the sky mends
I will be there till the sun comes home

It’ll come home
The sun’ll come home
Sun’s come home

Till the Sun Comes Home
