1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 It’s not in the blue of the sky up above
It’s not in your shoes or boots or your gloves
It’s not in the stones and the gravel of the park
But in the blood and the faith that pours through your heart
It’s not in the trials of each working day
It’s not in the moments that just slipped away
It’s not in the light or the shadow of dark
But in the blood and the faith that pours through your heart

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 It’s not in the paint and the bricks of the walls
It’s not even in the pull when temptation calls
It’s not in the kisses that tear you apart
But in the blood and the faith that pours through your heart
You’ll find it with Shankly and Bob and Our Joe
You’ll find it with Rafa and Stevie and Flo
And you’ve cherished its goodness right from the start
It’s there in the blood and the faith that pours through your heart

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Its there in our banners our flags and our scarves
Its there in our songs for our lads on the park
Its there in the football it’s right from the start
Born from the blood and the faith in our heart
We’ll meet with our mates and join at the game
And when Heaven calls us we’ll all meet again
For its football that joins us for when we’re apart
In the blood and the love and the faith in our heart.
