Why did your dreams have to die?
(Dedication to my Cousin Mark Ward)
I remember the headlines
'WARD FOR ANFIELD'
Couldn't believe it my team, was it true?
Did Kenny Dalglish really want to sign you?

A Blue, Toffee-nosed and all
Couldn't wait to see you at Anfield kicking the ball.
But it wasn't to be
Because you signed for your heroes
It was easy to see why you would go to the other side of
Stanley Park?
I was so happy for you Mark
Your Stevie Gerrard boyhood dream had come true
Mark Ward was now an official blue
I watched your career blossom from the word go
I watched you with passion my Cousin,
I was into Newspaper cut-outs, filled a Book dedicated to you
It was so great to watch the fans call out to you
Wardy, Wardy they shouted from the stands
Thousands cheered all waving their hands
Northwich, Oldham, then on to West Ham
Man City, Everton then back to Birmingham
Player Coach at Leigh RMI
MATE YOU HAD THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET
Why did your dreams have to die?
So here is to your future
It all starts right here
This is the beginning of a new career.
