Hidden Sun Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Suddenly things become unsound
Stumbling on the shaky ground
Given arrows to shoot tornadoes down
Shoot them down, to the ground
[Verse 2]
Saw a falling leaf, good luck, jump to grab
Much to our surprise, a butterfly
And it sunk in this induration
Induration in our lives
[Chorus]
Inside ourselves, a hidden sun that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
[Verse 3]
Shivering madly in the dark
Like an animal abandoned in the car park
And she held me, and then she showed me the
Beauty of the human heart
[Hook]
Inside ourselves, a hidden sun that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
A hidden sun that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
Suddenly things become unsound
Stumbling on the shaky ground
Given arrows to shoot tornadoes down
Shoot them down, to the ground
[Verse 2]
Saw a falling leaf, good luck, jump to grab
Much to our surprise, a butterfly
And it sunk in this induration
Induration in our lives
[Chorus]
Inside ourselves, a hidden sun that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
[Verse 3]
Shivering madly in the dark
Like an animal abandoned in the car park
And she held me, and then she showed me the
Beauty of the human heart
[Hook]
Inside ourselves, a hidden sun that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
A hidden sun that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
[Outro]
Anyone
Ooh, anyone, hm...

(Sun, sun, sun...)
(Sun, sun, sun...)
Anyone
Ooh, anyone, hm...
Hidden sun
Hidden sun
(Hidden sun, hidden sun...)
(Sun, sun, sun...)
(Sun, sun, sun...)
(Sun, sun, sun...)
(Sun, sun, sun...)
About
Genius Annotation
Hidden Sun is found on the Limited Edition copies of Barenaked Ladies' Maroon album. It also appears on international copies of the CD. Rather than having its own track, it can be found in the same track as “Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel”.
The song was composed and sung by Kevin Hearn, which he wrote while in the hospital battling leukemia, which is what the song’s meaning is about.
Kevin eventually formed his own band Kevin Hearn and Thin Buckle with their first album being titled H-Wing, the division of the hospital that Kevin was in.
