Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
As I wake to a sunset The light dances on the Mersey And I think of the 96 As the tears fall down on me There is courage, there is pride You can see it in your eyes Fight for justice, fight for life There are angels in these Skies As the night falls around me I see joy and devotion These times will never leave Like the rain on the ocean There is dignity and pride There is poetry and life There are ghosts within these stones There's defiance in these Bones And all the hatred they tried to throw at you But you stayed so strong Yeah all the hatred, it never was the truth So keep keeping on This is forever (woah) We'll never leave you now This is forever (woah) We'll never leave you now
