For the Mayor - lyrics and music by Nathan McCartney

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
