One night as the winds whispered eerie tales
And the stars danced to and fro
I dreamt of the land where my forefathers trod
In those times of long ago
In Boston Harbour I saw brave men
And I watched with youthful pride
When they scattered the tea in a tax laden sea
To a dark and an angry tide
I wondered then as I watched these men
Who flouted King George's might
Would redcoat hordes with their glittеring swords
Wreak vengeancе in the night?
Then a voice rang out in the starry air
"Stand fast, young man, be brave
Far better to die 'neath an open sky
Than live like a cowering slave"
That early dawn of an April morn'
I stood on a mountain tall
And felt the shock of the musket shot
That started first freedom's call
My spirits soared as the thunder roared
I prayed to the blazing sky
To bless the hand of the gallant band
Who carried our banner high
And the stars danced to and fro
I dreamt of the land where my forefathers trod
In those times of long ago
In Boston Harbour I saw brave men
And I watched with youthful pride
When they scattered the tea in a tax laden sea
To a dark and an angry tide
I wondered then as I watched these men
Who flouted King George's might
Would redcoat hordes with their glittеring swords
Wreak vengeancе in the night?
Then a voice rang out in the starry air
"Stand fast, young man, be brave
Far better to die 'neath an open sky
Than live like a cowering slave"
That early dawn of an April morn'
I stood on a mountain tall
And felt the shock of the musket shot
That started first freedom's call
My spirits soared as the thunder roared
I prayed to the blazing sky
To bless the hand of the gallant band
Who carried our banner high
