About the Song

A Fire is burning, the long night draws near
All who need comfort are welcome by here
We'll dance 'neath the stars & toast the past year
For the spirit of solstice is still living here

We'll count all our blessings while the mother lays down
With the snow as her blanket covering the ground
Thanks to the mother for the life that she brings
She'll waken to warm us again in the spring

The poor & the hungry, the sick & the lost
These are our children no matter the cost
Come by the fire rhe harvest to share
For the spirit of solstice is still living here

(repeat 1st verse)
