Manchester Lyrics

Plains and painted trees
The long south willow street
A raging river turning
Feelings never change
And the names remain the same
As 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 the
Weight that is life that has changed overnight
Let the good lend their hand as 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 blue's 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 the
Weight that is life that has changed overnight
Let the good lend their hand as the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester together to carry us on
Now Father Roger speaks--
He brings us to our knees.
It's beautiful.

All of Manchester together to carry the
Weight that is life that has changed overnight
Let the good lend their hand as the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester together to carry us on

To carry us on...

So let the good lend their hand as the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester together to carry us on, on...
