Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Manny
Long before
The country’s war
You lived your life in peace
Cheering for your teams
Kidding with your niece

I know
You can't sleep
You lie and weep
You’re haunted by your past
Soldiers from the blast
Dying in your grasp

Please know
I am here
And I do care
You’re living there alone
Struggling on your own
Let me help you see this through

[Chorus]
Manny
Manny don't you cry
I will be your friend
Friend for life

Hold on
Time will pass
And time will heal
Then you can live your life
right

[Verse 2]
Manny
You had dreams
To rule the Street
And find a love that’s yours
Living by the shore
Children you adore

I know
Life’s been hard
Can’t hold a job
You move from town to town
Staring at the crowds
Hoping to be found

Tear down
Walls you’ve built
That stem from guilt
Of knowing you survived
As others fought and died
Just a test of faith for you

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Manny
Don’t despair
Just lying there
And waiting for a sign
A path for you to find
I come to you with open arms

[Chorus]
