Champions of a New Century

A football match raged onscreen,

the home team’s supporters chanting loudly

as their midfielders passed the ball from side to side,

probing the half line for an opening into space.

You could hear 44,000 voices lifted together:

“When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high”

As the patched ball rolled on.

On the field of Kenny, Bill, Ian, and Rowdy

Now run Michael, Sammi, Danny, and Stephen

The glory of the past holds but a candle

To the brilliant future coming to Anfield

So watch proudly as the ball arcs high,

Straight into the box and our man runs

Straight onto it, one touch, one defender to beat

Straight off and through the keeper’s legs.

For the Reds always stand proud

Gunning for more silverware

Devils stand back in awe

All the other teams blue with envy.
