[Intro]
It’s going to be a long day
(Will you be OK?)
[Verse 1]
The sun is rising high
(High, high, high)
Until we turn around
(Round and round)
[Bridge]
Hey! Hey! Hey!
It’s going to be a long Day
(Will you be OK?)
[Chorus]
The truth she speaks
(Gonna be light for weeks)
The sun high in the sky
(Tell me the reason why)
[Verse 2]
It turned so bright
(Under the midnight sun)
Can’t turn off the light
(To get some sleepin’ done)
[Bridge]
Saa, saa, saa (Sunlight)
Bring on the night
It’s going to be a long day
(Will you be OK?)
[Chorus]
The truth she speaks
(Gonna be light for weeks)
The sun high in the sky
(Tell me the reason why)
[Outro]
A bit of an elliptical orbit
Twilight
(It’s starting to dim)
The sliver of light… glowing slim
(Oh, what a delight)
The night might…
(Fade to black)
… imagine that
ABOUT THE SONG AND THE SCIENCE
The longest “day” at the North Pole is a single continuous period of daylight known as the polar day, which lasts for approximately six months. While lower latitudes experience a “longest day” as a single 24-hour period with the most sunlight hours on the summer solstice, the North Pole experiences the following unique cycle:
* Continuous Daylight (The Polar Day): The sun stays above the horizon for roughly 186 days. It rises at the vernal equinox (around March 20–21) and does not set again until the autumnal equinox (around September 22–23).
* Maximum Solar Height: During this six-month “day,” the sun reaches its highest point in the sky at the summer solstice (June 20 or 21). In 2025, the summer solstice occurred on June 20 at 10:42 PM EDT.
* The “Midnight Sun”: Because the sun circles the pole without setting, every 24-hour period during these six months technically has 24 hours of daylight.
The North Pole’s polar day is slightly longer than its polar night (approximately 179 days) due to Earth’s elliptical orbit, which causes the planet to move more slowly during the northern summer when it is further from the sun.
