Lyrics

Smoke on the city rain on the stone
Red-brick rows where stories are grown
Echoes of mills and factory songs
Salford's been fighting all along

Chimneys reach like prayers through the grey
Coal-stained hands built yesterday
Steel and smoke in every breath
A town that’s danced with life and death

But the fires still burn in a different way
Dreams rise higher with each new day
From streets of stone to open skies
Hope is written in our eyes
We’ve weathered the storm, now watch us rise
It’s a Salford sunrise

We’ve carried the weight of iron and stone
Built our lives from the dust and bones
Now voices rise where silence lay
A brighter song begins today
It’s a Salford sunrise
