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.
