lyrics
Summer Solstice
(Laura Powers & Eileen Bray)
Eileen: Gaelic/ Irish
The Summer Solstice is here
The longest day and a wondrous time
Breath of the new dream to come
We stand in gratitude
Laura:
Light of the solstice fills the night
and fills our hearts with song
We raise our voices to the sky
The night of the summer sun
Light of the solstice fills the night
and fills our hearts with song
We raise our voices to the sky
The night of the summer solstice
The night of the summer solstice
Light the fires of celebration
Summer’s dance has just begun
In our hearts we are connected
Heaven and earth are one
Light of the solstice fills the night
and fills our hearts with song
We raise our voices to the sky
The night of the summer sun
Light of the solstice fills the night
and fills our hearts with song
We raise our voices to the sky
The night of the summer solstice
The night of the summer solstice
Eileen: Gaelic/ Irish
We honor our ancestors
Wisdom of the ancients
Let go of what no longer serve you
As the seasons’ wheel turns
May the blessings of the solstice fill your world with light.
