(Verse 1)
Things have been challenging, changing along the way,
Deadlines keep on coming, they still do every day,
But we pulled together, steady as a team,
Held together partly by coffee and caffeine.
(Verse 2)
Now we’re back together, building something new,
Bringing different strengths and a clearer point of view,
It’s the small shared moments that help us connect,
A sense of belonging we’re learning to protect.
(Chorus)
At Manchester Met, we’re in this together,
Through every change and whatever the weather,
Supporting our students in all that we do now,
A community built by me and you.
(Verse 3)
It takes a certain kind of person to do what we do,
With patience, care, and humour to see it all through,
With calendars packed tighter than we’d like them to be,
And meetings that might have worked better… as an email, maybe.
(Verse 4)
From “just one quick thing” that turns into three,
To “this will take five minutes”… it rarely will be,
We answer questions coming from everywhere,
Giving our time with commitment and care.
(Chorus)
At Manchester Met, we’re in this together,
Through every change and whatever the weather,
Supporting our students in all that we do now,
A community built by me and you.
(Verse 5)
From first hesitant questions to confident replies,
We see our students grow right before our eyes,
We guide and support as they find their way,
Building confidence more with each passing day.
(Bridge)
Through systems and logins that don’t always behave,
And passwords we reset more than we save,
Still every role and every part we play,
Helps build a place where people stay.
(Chorus)
At Manchester Met, we’re in this together,
Through every change and whatever the weather,
Supporting our students in all that we do now,
A community built by me and you.
