"It's November on Illulissat in Greenland, for another 54 days the residents in greenland won't see the daylight. They try to live their lives as normal. they still hunt and fish. Adults go to work, children go to school, but it's all under the cover of darkness. as the dark days drag on, everybody yearns for the sun to come back.
Finally on January the 13th, they get their wish. the entire community come out to celebrate the first sunrise of the new year. (people sing in chorus) ' ... The sun shines today on my soul, which has been in darkness, and remove my coldness, by shining on me.' "
