Caught in the wake
Caught in the waves
Of this city I know
We get pushed on our way
To wherever this sea
Is forwarding me
Ship or to shore
City or stream
English sunlight soothes me eyes
Northern vowels revitalise
Caught in the wake
Caught in the waves
Puffed up with pride
For what I can't say
So hold onto me
As I'm pulled underneath
The concrete and chrome
Of this place we call home
English sunlight soothes me eyes
Northern vowels revitalise
Springside green it wraps my sould
I'm longing for a home I know
Is this a place where our children grow?
Is this a place where I'd lay my bones?
Is this a place where I'd kiss the ground,
Of hillside and seaside and satellite towns?
Is this a place of the once were so proud?
Is this a place where I'd laugh with the crowd?
Is this a place where we can believe?
Is this a place where we can still see,
A word as a word and kiss as a kiss?
Is this a place whose people I'd miss?
Is this a place where we can believe?
Is this a place where we can believe?
Is this a place that we can call home?
Is this a place that we can call home?
