A tiring field trip

Question

(The simple and easy one, a small pop up in my head, while stuck in traffic)

This field trip is making me tired...
I take this every year, with nothing changed
Only bonfire and night sky
I wish to stop, but he won't let me.

Can you guess who is saying this and what is this field trip about?

Sounds like

(the) EARTH

This field trip is making me tired

the earth's journey around the sun could be seen as a trip. Maybe "field" is somehow referring to some force field

I take this every year, with nothing changed

one trip a year as one year is described by earth surrounding the sun once

Only bonfire and night sky

bonfire would be the sun here and night sky the dark side of the earth i.e. the 'rear' side

I wish to stop, but he won't let me.

~~Could be god or some other fictional source providing the energy~~ gravity forces the earth to stay on its orb/oval of movement

$\begingroup$ Shouldn't the last line be the sun not letting the earth escape because of its gravity? $\endgroup$ – Wu33o Jul 25 '16 at 9:34
$\begingroup$ yup, you got it :) last one needs improvement though, @Wu33o got the right idea $\endgroup$ – smriti Jul 25 '16 at 9:44
$\begingroup$ I thought about gravity, too. But the "he" confused me here $\endgroup$ – Avigrail Jul 25 '16 at 11:07
$\begingroup$ Well, he is 'gravitational force' $\endgroup$ – smriti Jul 25 '16 at 11:41
