Story behind the song
ccPlus License Available
I’m awed by the magic of this world this time of year. The longest night of winter solstice, the glorious northern lights, Orion’s belt rising in alignment with Sirius and the Sun, infinitely intricate snowflake fractal patterns, days with no night at the south pole. Whichever tradition we celebrate, whichever religion we ascribe too, we are all made of the same electrons, neutrons and protons. :D
Just made my first lyric vid for this song! Feedback welcome.
Special thanks to the “We Are All One” choir :) Happy Holidays!
The Light
It’s a frozen winter night
On a silver bed of snow
This silence stills the chill in my mind
With a warmth in my Soul from the moon all aglow
And the lights in our southern sky
Are the stars all aligned with the fable
Symbol of a miracle, where we become one
So I wait in the dark for the Sun
For the light, wait for the light
On this darkest eve of the year
Candles dance with our fire burning bright
Holding hands with the hope that our peace is right here
Angels with broken wings taking flight
There’s no night in the southern sky
And glowing wind with the northern auroras
Joined by this phenomenon, as we are all one
So I wait in the dark for the birth of the Sun
For the light, wait for the light
Awakened by light
And the lights in our southern sky
Are the stars all aligned with the fable
Symbol of the miracle, remembering we are all one
So I wait in the dark for the birth of the Son
For the light, wait for the light
Awakened by light
Here comes the light
Lyrics

Symbol of the miracle, remembering we are all one
So I wait in the dark for the birth of the Son
For the light, wait for the light
Awakened by light
