Bay State Bells

Prompt

Boston folk-rock with Irish fiddle, pub piano, driving acoustic guitar and a crowd-size chorus. An anthem for the US state of Massachusetts, proud, warm, radio quality, clear English diction. [Vocals: male lead vocal] [Lyrics] [Verse 1] Church bells over Boston where the Freedom Trail runs red A midnight ride in April that the whole world heard ahead The Charles is full of rowers and the Common's full of spring Massachusetts, you're the start of nearly everything [Chorus] Bay State bells are ringing from the Cape up to the hills Chickadee in the mayflower where the April rain spills From Fenway to Nantucket, from Lowell to the Cape Massachusetts, you're the stubborn, brilliant shape I take [Verse 2] Clam shacks out in Wellfleet, the dunes at Provincetown The Berkshires red in autumn as the leaves come tumbling down Lamplight in a Cambridge lab where someone changed the world Massachusetts, you're the flag that first got unfurled [Chorus] Bay State bells are ringing from the Cape up to the hills Chickadee in the mayflower where the April rain spills From Fenway to Nantucket, from Lowell to the Cape Massachusetts, you're the stubborn, brilliant shape I take [Bridge] Peace, but only under liberty, the old seal tells it true Massachusetts, every revolution starts with you [Chorus] Bay State bells are ringing from the Cape up to the hills Chickadee in the mayflower where the April rain spills From Fenway to Nantucket, from Lowell to the Cape Massachusetts, you're the stubborn, brilliant shape I take
