Aisha Badru’s “The Sun Still Rises” arrives like daybreak – quietly powerful and unquestionably hopeful.
The title track from her sophomore album showcases her gift for turning intimate moments into universal anthems, weaving minimalist folk arrangements with crystalline vocals that drift above gentle acoustic guitar work.
Her delivery of “It doesn’t care that I’m in mourning / It doesn’t know I’m missing you” carries a stark honesty in its simplicity.
Badru, master of atmospheric soundscapes, shapes these raw emotions through ethereal production and thoughtful songcraft.
By now, we’ve grown to expect nothing less than sonic poetry from Badru – and she delivers abundantly.
The chorus unfolds naturally, with the refrain “If the sun still rises then I will too” offering both personal reflection and shared solace.
It’s intentional healing through melody, and every listen reveals new layers of artistry.

Aisha Badru The Sun Still Rises Lyrics
The sun still rises in the morning
The air is clear, the day is new
It doesn’t care the I’m in mourning
It doesn’t know I’m missing you
Inside my heart there was an earthquake
Everything I knew fell away
As I was stranded digging my grave
The birds were singing anyway
And the sky was a magnificent blue
The water sparkled, the flowers bloomed
I thought I’d fall apart for you
But if the sun still rises then I will too
If the sun still rises then I will too
