Originally written for a group of friends who come to our annual "Lucia Party" each December. "Solstice Night" is a fantastic sing-along tune to enjoy around a cheery fire, over your favorite beverage or anywhere you'd like to "get in the spirit". Good friends and good times. Enjoy!

SOLSTICE NIGHT Lyrics
We gather on this sacred eve
the Yuletide log is burning.
Tribe and family join as one
the Wheel of life is turning.
We celebrate the sun's rebirth
from darkness it is growing.
Bringing warmth to frozen lands
and set our hearts to glowing.
Chorus
Sing, Ye, of the mystery
buried in the ground.
On the longest night of all the year
'tis there our hope is found.
As winter holds us in her arms
the frozen wren is flying.
Oaken traveler comes again,
the Holly King is dying. (Chorus)
As we depart our separate ways,
through fields afar go roaming.
Remembering on Solstice Night
as day returns from gloaming. (Chorus)
