Lyrics

In Jim Vrabel's book, A People's History of Boston, The stories of the unsung heroes, never forgotten. Community voices rose, they wouldn’t be pushed down, In the heart of Boston town, they turned things around. We are the people's history, in the shadows, we made light, From Roxbury to the South End, we fought with all our might. Unsung heroes of the streets, in every protest and every beat, We built a new Boston, with justice and with heat. Ruth Batson, Mel King, they gave our hopes some wings, In the classrooms, in the courts, against the city's stings. Urban renewal, gentrification's cruel, But we battled in the trenches, using activism as our tool. We are the people's history, in the shadows, we made light, From Roxbury to the South End, we fought with all our might. Unsung heroes of the streets, in every protest and every beat, We built a new Boston, with justice and with heat. From sit-ins to picket lines, we challenged all the signs, Of a city meant for few, we made our voices shine. In the halls of power, we reclaimed each hour, The strength of many hands, turning thorns into flowers. We are the people's history, in the shadows, we made light, From Roxbury to the South End, we fought with all our might.
