Screaming sound starting the show

Beams of light rising high

Proud children fidgeting anxiously

Color streaking across the sky


Explosions of light over the river

Tea-flavored water's reflection

Thin fingers of bright color stretch

Over the sky and in our hearts of affection


Many battles won and many lost

Yet we take courage and we'll always win

This night commemorates our valor throughout history

We are the Spirit of Freedom; we are the people of Boston
