Manchester - Brendan James

Composed by：Brendan James

Plains and painted trees

The long south willow street

A raging river turning

Feelings never change

The names remain the same

And children go on learning

Like all the town she fights

She prays she'll do it right

With nature's sounds to guide

Her safely through the night

All of Manchester together to carry

On the weight that is life

That has changed over night

Let the good lend their hand and the old teach the young

This is all of Manchester together to carry us on

Shades of red and white in the blinking of an eye

The blues not far behind

Free to live for the price of the cold November night

A chill that never dies

Like all the town she fights she prays she'll do it right

With nature's sounds to guide her safely through the night

All of Manchester together to carry on the weight that is life

That has changed over night

Let the good lend their hand and the old teach the young

This is all of Manchester together to carry us on

Father Roger speaks he brings us to our knees

Oh it's beautiful

All of Manchester together to carry on the weight that is life

That has changed over night

Let the good lend their hand and the old teach the young

This is all of Manchester together to carry us on

Carry us on

Let the good lend their hand and the old teach the young

This is all of Manchester together to carry us on
