Longtime Sun from Womb Song by Amanda West + Friends
The words of this song are said to be an old blessings from Ireland, or the British Isles, and can be found among the lyrics of "A Very Cellular Song" written by Mike Heron, of The Incredible String Band, a British folk band from the 1960's. (check it out here, lyrics around 10:40 ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvvblmN1hEw)
The mantra became popular among Kundalini Yoga practitioners and has been made most famous by Snatam Kaur. The version we sing here we learned from Melita, a wonderful Berkeley-based musician, shared with permission.
We have found this song to be appropriate for moving across both sides of the threshhold.

Lyrics
May the longtime sun shine upon you
all love surround you
and the pure, pure light within you
guide your way home
