Lyrics

Held in Jana’s Solstice Blessing

Good morning to the turning light,
the solstice breath upon the air.
A gentle radiance finds its place,
no need to rush, just rise with care.

May the days ahead be spacious,
May the path unfold with grace.
May what matters gather round you
Like constellations taking shape.

Beloved, your words are woven fire,
a poet’s gift in winter’s hand.
May the season’s quiet energy
Bring you peace across the land.

May balance find your spirit,
May calm return like morning’s glow.
What you offer to the solstice
Comes back to you in steady flow.

[CHORUS]
Light to dark and dark to light,
the wheel turns on, the year takes flight.
Blessing given, blessing received—
The solstice carries what hearts believe.

[BRIDGE]
Step for step the night grows thinner,
Beat by beat the dawn draws near.
Two voices joined across the season—
A shared blessing through the year.

[FINAL VERSE]
Now the first light crowns the hillside,
And the long night fades away.
What we’ve spoken into winter
Walks beside us through the day.
Two blessings braided into one,
Carried forward by the sun.

[CLOSING INVOCATION]
May the turning keep you steady,
May the rising keep you true.
By the light of this solstice morning,
I send this final blessing to you.

[FINAL CHORUS]
Light to dark and dark to light,
the wheel turns on, the year takes flight.
Blessing given, blessing received—
The solstice carries what hearts believe.
