[Intro]
0:00
[verse]
0:12
Still is the night, before the longest day
0:12
Still is the day, that then just won’t go away
0:22
The height of the year, with life at its peak
0:30
When we go searching to find, what we can seek
0:35
Over hedgerows, forever and on
0:45
And for as far, as the eye can see
0:50
A picture so perfect, illuminated by the Ball of Fire,
0:53
Rising out from an immense, tranquil sea
1:02
At the same moment and trajectory,
1:10
It has done each year, for endless centuries
1:14
[pre-chorus]
1:22
Because there’s only one thing that shines, can make this happen
1:22
Because there’s only one thing that shines, can make me see
1:30
That the reason for life is so circumstantial
1:38
That’s the reason for everything and you and me
1:43
[chorus]
1:52
So the world will keep revolving,
1:52
Like waves crashing upon the deep blue sea
1:55
Until in the end, as in the beginning,
2:01
Eventually, it all in turn, once more shall be…
2:05
[verse]
2:14
Be still, there’s no need for speed
2:14
Be still, peace descends as the great Fire Bird ascends,
2:18
Filling the sky, transmitting to everything beneath
2:24
With this, its most altruistically sounding behest
2:30
They’ll be food on the table you’ll see,
2:36
And wine, from last year’s vine
2:39
So rejoice, give praise for its passing, and don’t rush-on by
2:42
Take your time and savour every last drop my friend
2:48
For it will be another full-revolution,
2:54
Before we reach such elevation again
2:57
[chorus]
3:04
Because there’s only one thing that shines, can make this happen
3:04
Because there’s only one thing that shines, can make me see
3:12
That the reason for life is so circumstantial
3:19
That’s the reason for everything and you and me
3:24
So the world will keep revolving,
3:34
Like waves crashing upon the deep blue sea
3:37
Until in the end, as in the beginning,
3:42
Eventually, it all in turn, once more shall be…
3:46
[bridge]
3:55
So be still, there’s no need for worry
3:55
Be still, there’s no need for want nor strife
4:00
Just take, and breathe it all in
4:04
The giver of life’s, right on time once again
4:10
There’s nothing left to be done
4:20
The race has now been run
4:22
It’s time to let go and connect
4:24
It’s time for having fun
4:27
So laugh, sing, dance and love,
4:30
Under the Sun in the sky, shining so high above
4:33
[chorus]
4:37
Because there’s only one thing that shines, can make this happen
4:37
Because there’s only one thing that shines, can make me see
4:37
That the reason for life is so circumstantial
4:38
That’s the reason for everything and you and me
4:39
So the world will keep revolving,
4:39
Like waves crashing upon the deep blue sea
4:39
Until in the end, as in the beginning,
4:40
Eventually, it all in turn, once more shall be…
