Manchester

Your darkness and hate
Try to come upon us
To steal the light
To take away
Our dreams
Our beautiful stars

We respond
Stand our ground
Transform tears of pain
Into smiles of hope
Into the resolve of life

Against your acts of bloody sin
We shall play our guitars
Against your backward steps
We shall dance and sing
We will love deep and wide

The future will remember
The songs of our lives
Our love for men- and womenkind
Bringing back the light
As we play our flutes, our strings
And we shall dance and sing
Dance and sing
