For the Mayor

It takes a heart to make a home It takes the strongest hands To lay the brick and stone The largest town can feel alone But it's the gentlest touch That makes this town a home

So here's to the Mayor And let it be known That it's only by love And not by blood That he sits upon his throne Here's to Lord Mayor And the office he holds The love he shows The cross that he bears For all those who care Here's to the Mayor

It takes courage to make a stand It takes a warrior's soul To bring peace to the land It takes someone who understands Who will do what must be done Simply because he can

So here's to the Mayor And let it be known That it's only by love And not by blood That he sits upon his throne Here's to Lord Mayor And the office he holds The love he shows The cross that he bears For all those who care Here's to the Mayor

It takes someone who'll take a chance Who sees these diamonds in the rough And takes a second glance And when we've seen hard times advance Who always seems to find the good In any circumstance

So here's to the Mayor And let it be known That it's only by love And not by blood That he sits upon his throne Here's to Lord Mayor And the office he holds The love he shows The cross that he bears For all those who care Here's to the Mayor

So here's to the Mayor And let it be known That it's only by love And not by blood That he sits upon his throne Here's to Lord Mayor And the office he holds The love he shows The cross that he bears For all those who care Here's to the Mayor

For all that you share Our thanks we declare Here's to the Mayor
