There is a time in late December
The sun stands still in winter
For three days and three long nights
Throughout time we've watched the sky
And waited for the sun to come and save us
Save us from the longest night

For years I have been doing things
And singing songs that don't make any sense
But if I scratch the surface just a little bit
The holiday paint is pretty thin

Look to the sky with hope and wonder
There's a star in the east to guide us home
We are closer now than we've ever been
To peace on earth and good will to men
As we celebrate the longest night
O night divine
O night divine
