Children of the Sun (feat. Pritam & Vishal Mishra)

Alan Walker's 'Children of the Sun (feat. Pritam & Vishal Mishra)' is a powerful anthem that speaks to the resilience and hope inherent in the human spirit. The song blends English and Hindi lyrics, creating a rich tapestry of cultural influences that enhance its universal message. The recurring theme of light and darkness serves as a metaphor for life's challenges and the enduring hope that guides us through them. The 'children of the sun' symbolize those who strive for their dreams despite obstacles, embodying a spirit of perseverance and optimism.

The Hindi lyrics, 'चल दिया चल दिया जो ख्वाबों का करवा मंज़िले दिख रही हमें जाना है वह,' translate to 'The caravan of dreams has set off, we can see the destinations, we have to go there.' This imagery evokes a journey towards one's aspirations, emphasizing the importance of moving forward despite uncertainties. The song's chorus, 'When the light turns to night, we're the children of the sun,' reinforces the idea that even in the darkest times, there is an inner light that guides and sustains us.

The song also touches on themes of identity and belonging. Lines like 'I don't know my name, but when I see sky, I'm in paradise' suggest a sense of disorientation and search for self, yet finding solace and purpose in the larger universe. This duality of feeling lost yet hopeful is a poignant reflection of the human experience. The song encourages listeners to embrace their journey, fight for what they love, and find their way home, even if it means getting lost along the way. The collaboration with Pritam and Vishal Mishra adds a unique cultural depth, making the song a beautiful blend of Western and Indian musical elements.
