The grey of a city is too much to bear,

But yellow splashes hide the despair.
Outwardly glad, secretly sad,
Repressing truths of vagrant youths

Buildings in wraps, hiding brutal facts,

A city destroyed with workers deployed,
is it enough for a city so tough.

I see people walking, scaffolding talking, clatter, clang, clatter, clang.

Liverpool is changing,

New verses old,
Heritage, art, culture.

Liverpool is new Liverpool is bold Liverpool is everything including the old.

Plenty of things to see and do

The cultural city delivers you through
Rich heritage walks the docks
Sailing clear of the rocks
 
A city founded with high aims, attracted many of the names,
Roaming a city of great inspiration, leads a mind to aspiration. 

Is it for you, is it for me,

Liverpool city the place to be?

Behind closed doors you will find, scars deep within the mind,

a raw history's of social deprivation, plagues a land of motivation

As the sun hits its peak perceptions are bleak, but a driving force of motivation delivers new hope for a land of transformation.

 

Is it for you, is it for me,

Liverpool City the place to be?
