No choice at all

I come from a special place, a city by the sea

A small but mighty race, filled with community

Always got each-others back, nothing splits us in two

However, we will ask; Are you red or are you blue?

Liverpool is my home and some say we’re stuck in our ways

But you never walk alone, especially on match days

Our musicians superstars; living or dead

But all we really care, you a blue or a red?

Everton claim to be the city’s team

Whilst Liverpool are off winning the league

Everton cries “they’re just a foreign club”

Liverpool replies, with its ruby red blood

For The 96 and Little boy blue

We hold our hands and hearts

Pay our respects, honour the years

And make it through the dark

A resilient city stands strong with our Three Graces high

You hear about us in song, to live and let die

Trouble at worst, loved at best but side by side in all we do

Fly the flag, pass the test. Tell us though; red or blue?

Sisters and Brothers, separated by colour

Arguing with lovers, because they support the other

My family just the same, to their teams they stay true

Others cry it’s just a game, but not to a red, nor to a blue.

People full of history and a land full of heritage

Passion over glory. My home is my privilege

I travelled far and wide, everything brand new

My accent couldn’t hide, so they asked; red or blue?

Streets full of diversity, I fit in loud and proud

Some people think we’re crazy, the rest know we’re sound.

So I boast my cities colours, although I haven’t got a clue.

And if I am being honest, it’s for my brother why I’m blue
