Lyrics

Solstice

Sitting underneath the summer sun
staring up at the clear blue sky
everyone left to see the cool new band
but we stayed and we watched as The Tragically Hip poured out their souls

they played hard and they kept on growing
those who stayed we saw them glowing
and in this moment I realized
not to give up the fight

when the sun won't shine and there's no light left to guide
you've got to keep pushing and find a brand new sky
when the moon won't glow
and the tide stays low
you've got to keep pushing
until the seas do rise

No ones gonna tell you what is right
you've got to follow your own soul

On the stage I sing my song for you
emotions pour from the deepest part of my bones
but you and I we know that your not listening
I'm just some background noise that keeps on getting in your way

but I believe in what I'm doing
that it is just and it is right
one day I know you will be listening
as I play on through the night?

when the sun won't shine and there's no light left to guide
you've got to keep pushing and find a brand new sky
when the moon won't glow
and the tide stays low
you've got to keep pushing
until the seas do rise

No ones gonna tell you what is right
you've got to follow your own soul

And when you feel like giving up
and it seems all hope is lost
you've got to keep on chasing your biggest dreams
and bring those dreams to life



Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine down on me

When the solstice brings you light you've got to follow where it goes
and when there's darkness all around you've got to follow your own soul
