96 Reasons - Hillsborough
96 fans awoke that day
travelled to Sheffield to see their heroes play
96 had tickets for Leppings Lane
96 never returned home again
96 people packed in, gasping for breath
praying for life enduring death
96 names etched on a memorial plaque,
next to an eternal flame
96 lives lost watching the beautiful game
96 families reduced to tears
still fighting for justice after all these years
96 souls not left in peace yet
96 reasons to never forget
