it’s been a long year,
it’s been a long road,
filled with heartache filled with fear,
so many answers left unknown,
through the pain,
take my hand,
we’ll build a braver stronger world,
together we will stand,
never gonna bring us down,
never gonna watch us fall,
this is our city,
we are boston,
they’re never gonna hold us down,
we will stand tall,
this is our city,
we are boston,
so here we are,
on the streets i know,
climbed the hills healed the heartbreak,
through the darkness we have grown,
you picked me up,
and we carried on,
treading mile after mile,
step by step we learned to run,
(we will run)
never gonna bring us down,
never gonna watch us fall,
this is our city,
we are boston,
they’re never gonna hold us down,
we will stand tall,
this is our city,
we are boston,
from the mystic to the charles.
flowing out into the harbor,
together we remember,
we all sing,
from brighton down to hyde,
fenway along the red line,
together we remember,
we all sing,
never gonna bring us down,
never gonna watch us fall,
this is our city,
we are boston,
they’re never gonna hold us down,
we will stand tall,
this is our city,
we are boston strong.
