Dance of the Wren (Acoustic Session) Irish Winter Celebration

Step into the joyful Irish midwinter tradition of the Wren Dance - a celebration that once marked St. Stephen’s Day, when villagers paraded through the streets with music, laughter, and song.

In the Dance of the Wren, we re-imagine the custom as a symbol of renewal and togetherness. Children carry tin whistles and drums through snowy lanes, echoing the ancient call to community.

This track is part of the Winter Gathering album, but this is just me and my guitar.

Lyrics:
Through the lanes the children sing,
Echoes rise on winter’s wing.
Drums and pipes in merry sound,
Joy and laughter all around.

Dance the wren, oh dance, oh dance,
Hearts awake in song and chance.
Dance the wren, oh dance, oh dance,
Love unites the world in dance.

Steps that echo through the night,
Songs that make the spirit bright.
From the hill to ocean wide,
Hope and cheer forever tied.

Dance the wren, oh dance, oh dance,
Hearts awake in song and chance.
Dance the wren, oh dance, oh dance,
Love unites the world in dance.

Dance the wren, oh dance, oh dance,
Hearts awake in song and chance.
Dance the wren, oh dance, oh dance,
Love unites the world in dance.

Dance the wren, oh dance, oh dance,
Hearts awake in song and chance.
Dance the wren, oh dance, oh dance,
Love unites the world in dance.
