Arriving, arriving

What makes the difference?
What changes us, in this world? Drives us?

Some would say hope, and why not?
Belief? That's not for the likes of you or I to decide.
But it speaks for itself, and it speaks from something.
The fans look to us for their hope —
to give them something, to make Saturday
worth cursing through Monday, and Tuesday, and Wednesday.......
The fans will love us or hate us,
but they will look to us and what we give them.
This season the Big Four will go again,
but the perch will not await you, Sir Alex, and your devils.
Or you Jose, with your ladder of gold,
or even you Arsene, and your beautiful, fragile guns.
Because hope is arriving in Liverpool,
in our hearts,
perhaps arriving at the John Lennon even now..........
