The Longest Night of the Year (the Solstice song)
by Paul Landsittel © 2010
VERSE#1
People gather throughout history,
To feel the holy mystery.
From the four directions, our ancestors come,
Oh, hear our prayers with the beat of the drum
With the holy smoke of burning sage, we light our candles, as the
Darkness fades
Chorus
Oh, I live for this,
on the longest night of the year
VERSE #2
Summer’s hibernating far away,
Deep in sleep while winter has its way.
Stars are glowing at the speed of light,
In heavenly peace through the silent night
From Sagittarius to Capricorn,
out of this world we are reborn
(Chorus)
