[Verse 1]
Grandmother's fingers, weathered and wise
Darning old stockings under dim winter skies
Factory smoke and the whistle's last call
While Newcastle's children learn how to fall
And rise, and rise again
[Chorus]
This winter's wage ain't gonna break me down
Though frost bites deep in this northern town
With thread and needle, we'll stitch it through
Like mama taught me, like her mama knew
We survive, we survive
[Verse 2]
Empty cupboards and hand-me-down coats
Second-hand dreams that barely float
But mama's singing through gritted teeth
Making something from nothing underneath
These northern lights
[Bridge]
The machines may rust, the jobs may fade
But we've got spirit that can't be frayed
Like patches sewn on worn-out jeans
We hold together by any means
In these factory nights
[Chorus]
This winter's wage ain't gonna break me down
Though frost bites deep in this northern town
With thread and needle, we'll stitch it through
Like mama taught me, like her mama knew
We survive, we survive
[Verse 3]
There's pride in the way we make ends meet
In borrowed blankets and borrowed heat
Community strong when times get rough
Teaching daughters to be twice as tough
As circumstance
[Outro]
So let them say we're just getting by
While we're weaving gold from winter's sky
'Cause grandmother's wisdom runs in my veins
And her quiet strength still remains
Through these northern lights and factory nights
We rise, we rise again
Like hope in the morning, we rise
