Tribute To Manchester
I wrote this as a tribute to all those injured and killed in the bombing. Get well soon people, rest in peace those that were murdered.
Manchester will never forgive
Manchester will never forget
The few that carry the bomb
The few with the terrorist threat
Manchester will never forget
Those that were caught in the blast
Manchester understands
That it isn’t the first time or last
The Provo’s they gave us a warn of attack
A few precious minutes for the hordes to drawback
Now our blood stains the tarmac and union jack
From a cowardly nail bomb packed in a backpack
But Manchester will stand, like the tree called the Oak
Rising up tall from the fire and the smoke
Manchester has been there before
Surviving but battered and sore
So Manchester’s message to those with the bomb
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on
