Lyrics
(Verse 1:)
Terrorists they want us to be afraid of gathering together
One nation under God we trust in the Lord
Like cowards they came but we shall overcome
(Chorus)
To the Lord we pray don't let our enemies prevail
Shine your light on them reveal every detail
Shine your peace on those who were left behind
Shine Heaven's light
Shine on shine on shine on Boston
(Verse 2:)
I turned my TV on to watch that tragic day
Still I saw something beautiful I must say
People helping each other that's what I call 'Boston strong'
(Chorus)
To the Lord we pray don't let our enemies prevail
Shine your light on them reveal every detail
Shine your peace on those who were left behind
Shine Heaven's light
Shine on shine on shine on Boston
(Bridge:)
We never quit we trust in the creator of everything
Let 'God shine on Boston' be the words that we sing
(Chorus)
To the Lord we pray don't let our enemies prevail
Shine your light on them reveal every detail
Shine your peace on those who were left behind
Shine Heaven's light
Shine on shine on shine on Boston
