We Are Derby

Rail-track city; birthplace of the industrial revolution

Where inventors span cogs to engineer solutions

-

We're a city that delivers

From Royal Mail PO boxes

To Royal Crown Derby china

Craft and specialism's our definer

We Are Derby

-

Bearers of Joseph Strutt's philanthropy

Erasmus Darwin's philosophy

Where Florence Nightingale hatched plans

To revolutionise the healthcare of England

-

We're engineers with dirty fingernails

Graft and sweat pump through our veins

We're Rolls-Royce engines, Belper nails

Toyota motors, Bombardier trains

We Are Derby

-

A picture painted by Wright

A building designed by Pickford

We're artistic souls and working minds

With a heritage built on cognizance

-

The underdog city of Middle England

Entrepreneurship exemplified

Where independent businesses thrive:

The real-ale capital; a beer festival every night!

-

We Are Derby

-

Where the ram is our symbol

The city its beating heart

We've lived through hard times, persevered

Our people possess the spark

We are Derby County:

Formed in 1884

100 years before I was born

Under Clough and Taylor came the glory days

The heritage they forged; their legacy still remains

-

Where on Shaftesbury Cres, the kids now play

Where houses stand and turf once lay

On the ashes of our Baseball Ground

They laugh and have a kick around

As Stevie Bloomer watches down

The city's pride emanates the ground

 

We Are Derby

-

On that Monday morning

After that Wanchope weekend

Driving all those Man United fans

Completely 'round the bend

-

We're resilience in the flesh

We've never settled

For second best

Just walk these streets

You’ll feel the pride

It’s in our DNA

-

We Are Derby

-

Where the future's bright:

Bright black & White

Whoever the opponent

We’ll take the fight

-

We'll sing the songs; we'll sing them loud

Whatever gets thrown at us!

-

The ambition's here, the time is now

Our loyal supporters will see us proud

With our new blood we can make the push

And forge new history to elevate this club

Back to the top where we belong

The ambition here is bubbling strong

-

We Are Derby: Derby County

When this was incredible when it was performed before the game against Birmingham. Following the march and the outpouring of emotion, having the whole stadium joining in the ‘We are Derby’s was something special. I hope they get Mr. Thrasivoulou to do it again before the first home match. It had such a resonance when it was us against the World in the midst of fighting for the very future of our club, and I think it would have a very similar yet very different emotional heft now we know our future is secure.
