You Never Walk Alone
André Hazes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold your head up high
And don`t be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There`s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a luck
Walk on through the wind
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you`ll never walk alone
You`ll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you`ll never walk alone
You`ll never walk alone
André Hazes's song "You Never Walk Alone," a cover of the original song by Rodgers and Hammerstein from the musical "Carousel," is a powerful ballad of hope and encouragement. The lyrics encourage the listener to hold their head up high and not be afraid of the dark, implying that trying times will inevitably come, but they will pass. In the midst of the storm, there is the promise of a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark. Hazes then encourages us to walk on through the wind and rain, even though our dreams may be tossed and blown.
The song's title, "You Never Walk Alone," emphasizes the importance of community and the support that can be found in those around us. It reminds us that, no matter what difficulties we may encounter, we will always have someone beside us to help us through the tough times. Though the song is often associated with sports teams and their fans, its message of hope and encouragement is universal and can be applied to any situation where we may feel alone.

When you walk through a storm
When you face difficult times
Hold your head up high
Keep your confidence level intact
And don`t be afraid of the dark
Don't be intimidated by the unknown
