Ode to Massachusetts

By Joseph Falzone
Adopted November 16th, 2000
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
From the Freedom Trail in Boston
To the Dome on Beacon Hill
To Framingham and Worcester
And Springfield if will
From Concord on to Lexington
No matter where you roam
There's a not so common Commonwealth
It's the place that I call home

You are the heart of New England
Old Ironsides and Bunker Hill
Where JFK once paved the way
To the day the world stood still
Your One By Land and Two By Sea
Helped set our country free
You can't get better MASSACHUSETTS
You'll always be sweet home to me.
No, you can't get better MASSACHUSETTS
You'll always be sweet home to me.
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom

The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker's Hill. Painting by John Trumbull.
