A voice behind the clouds

The Mersey ferries carry Souls
Across the waves of time
The skies of Anfield fused with songs
‘Midst banners held up high

From Scotland road to Paradise
From Dingle to the Pier
From Kirkby to the streets of hope
From Bootle Strand they’re here

From Birkenhead and Wallasey
From Huyton and from Speke
They walk on through the storms of life
And then at Anfield meet

They come together in the name
Of their beloved football team
To talk of days of titles won
Of when their boys were kings

The dreams that saw the light of day
From Stubbins to Dalglish
From Billy Liddell’s tireless heart
To St. Michael’s flying feet

The curtains rose on each campaign
The deeds stitched on each flag
The stories told of every quest
Of fiercely conquered land

Now through the storms that wildly blow
And cast all dreams to sea
The laughter struggles to survive
And hope sets sail to flee

So bide the time and don’t give up
The day will dawn once more
A man will come to Liverpool
For such a man he came before.
