Wild Heart brings a steady, rootsy glow to “Holyoke Christmas Light,” a song shaped by snowfall, resilience, and neighbors stepping up when fire struck the heart of the city. Fiddle, lap steel, and a sure country pulse carry a story of people helping people, holding onto each other, and keeping the season’s light alive even when the year’s been rough.

Wild Heart’s new tune “Holyoke Christmas Light” honors a city that pulls together when things get tough, lifting each other through fire, snow, and long nights. #adamrsweet #WildHeart #HolyokeChristmasLight #Holyoke


(Verse 1)
Well the snow came down on High Street,
Boot tracks in the pale moon glow,
Folks gathered by the City Hall
'Cause that big ol' pine's about to show.
Kids laughin' on the merry-go-round,
Cups of cocoa warmin' hands,
And the fiddle sings a winter tune
'Bout a town that always stands.

(Chorus)
Holyoke, shine your Christmas light,
Lift your people through the darkest night.
When the fires tried to break ya,
Your hearts burned twice as bright-
Oh Holyoke, yeah, you hold on tight,
Holyoke, shine your Christmas light.

(Verse 2)
Saw Maureen by the fire trucks,
Sayin', “Come on now, gather 'round,”
As the mayor touched that switch and sent
A glow across this ol' mill town.
But behind the cheer was a heavy truth,
Some folks lost their homes this year,
Yet neighbors opened up their doors
And dried each other's tears.

(Chorus)
Holyoke, shine your Christmas light,
Lift your people through the darkest night.
When the fires tried to break ya,
Your hearts burned twice as bright-
Oh Holyoke, yeah, you hold on tight,
Holyoke, shine your Christmas light.

(Bridge - fiddle & lap-steel fill)
Enlace de Familias stood tall,
Passin' 'round hope like a Sunday song.
Hundreds of hands reachin' out,
Provin' this town's Holy-Oak strong.

(Verse 3)
Now the tree stands proud and gleamin',
But the real light's in the folks below-
In the ones who give what little they can,
And the ones who rise from smoke and snow.
So here's to every hand that helps,
Every soul that won't let go,
Tonight our band plays loud and true
For the heart of Holyoke.

(Final Chorus)
Holyoke, shine your Christmas light,
Lift your people through the darkest night.
When trouble comes a-knockin',
You still get up and fight-
Oh Holyoke, yeah, you hold on tight,
Holyoke, shine your Christmas light.

(Tag)
Yeah this town's got a wild heart too…
Holyoke, we sing for you.
