The Kettle's Hum
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
A single blue flame clicks awake beneath the kettle's weight
it hums the house to warmth before it's ever late
the steam will rise so slow and settle soft and low
and you are held here, Ali, wrapped in all its glow

[Chorus]
Ali, Ali, close your eyes and let the night grow still
Outside, the world can wait while dreams begin to fill
you are the warmest light this house will ever know
sleep now, little one, and let your breathing slow

[Verse 2]
The kettle's whisper fades but warmth stays curled around your head
it lingers soft and slow like colours turning red
you do not need to keep the whole wide world in view
for every gentle thing tonight is turning toward you

[Pre-chorus]
The flame has settled low, its whisper drifting straight to you
it wraps around the dark and makes it soft and true
and now your heavy eyes are ready to let go

[Chorus]
Ali, Ali, close your eyes and let the night grow still
Outside, the world can wait while dreams begin to fill
you are the warmest light this house will ever know
sleep now, little one, and let your breathing slow

[Bridge]
One day you'll wander far past every door and gate
but tonight you're small enough to simply lie and wait
the whole world holds its breath to keep this moment true
and everything that's soft tonight belongs to you

[Chorus]
Ali, Ali, close your eyes and let the night grow still
Outside, the world can wait while dreams begin to fill
you are the warmest light this house will ever know
sleep now, little one, and let your breathing slow

[Outro]
The blue flame settles into embers, soft and low
and Ali sleeps inside the warmth it left to glow
