Song for the Summer Solstice

This song celebrates the fiery fullness of the Summer Solstice—the longest day, when the sun reigns high and wild. It’s a time of abundance, of dancing barefoot, of honoring the heat and the harvest to come. The song leans into joy, but also into the knowledge that the light begins to wane.

Verse
From ancient times we watched the sun
And danced in summer breeze
Midsummer wonder all around
The Oak King stood among the trees

Chorus
Here we touch the morning sky
As others did before us
In the glow, our spirits thrive
With laughter as our chorus

Verse
In modern times we watch the sun
And dance in summer breeze
With kindred hearts we are as one
We see the Oak King in the trees

Chorus
Here we touch the evening sky
As others did before us
In the glow, our spirits thrive
With laughter as our chorus
 
Outro
Summer Solstice as it winds down
We watch the evening fade away
From now until the harvest crown
Sing summer’s praises every day
