Welcome Back the Sun the Winter Solstice heralds the coming of new life and light. The celebration on 21st December brings bright lights and warmth to our darkest day. It’s a day I look forward to each year.

Lyrics

We Welcome Back the Sun
On the 21st day of December
The darkest day of the year
We'll light up our yule fire & keep a warm glow
And welcome all those who draw near
Come take off your soggy wet jacket
Wrap up with a blanket that's warm
Tell us your story and where you are bound
Some food for your telling we will find

CHORUS
We’ll dance and we’ll sing on this beautiful night
to welcome the sun. We’ll dance and we’ll sing
Feel the warmth of the fire, we’ll welcome back the sun we’ll welcome back the sun

The family has gathered for the feast now
Our friends and the wanderer too
We give thanks for the harvest that feeds us this day
We give thanks for the wanderer too
We gathered up the mistletoe and holly
together wreaths and garlands we’ve made
And they’ll bring us good cheer
At this dark time of year
The firelight just like the sun ablaze
CHORUS & tag line outro
