Light a Light

TimBoston Millennium Song

“Light a Light”
Dedicated to First Night Boston 2000
words and music by Tim McHale©

Chorus: Oh light a light, oh light a light, for our Boston
Oh light a light, oh light a light, for all who come
Oh light a light, oh light a light, for the blessing
Of the new millennium.

Feel the spirit in our veins from the freedom we have gained, can we feel it?
Independence is the key so we can be all that we can be, yes we have it!
From the shot heard round the world, to each flag that is unfurled,
With loving pride…

Boston, you’re my home, Boston, you’re my home.

For the immigrants who came, who brought Boston all her fame, we thank you.
Our neighborhoods are styled by every woman, man, and child, do you know them?
To the many cultures here, through all our blood, sweat, and tears.
We don’t have to roam…

Boston, you’re my home, Boston, you’re my home.

Chorus

Oh Boston , your light shines for all to see.
A light in the night for all who are free.
So shine, shine Boston shine we pray.
We’ll light the light that shows the way.

Chorus

Group Silouette of the Boston Minstrels
