You'll Never Walk Alone
Brittany Howard 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 lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Brittany Howard's "You'll Never Walk Alone" is a powerful gospel song that encourages listeners to remain steadfast even in the midst of difficult and stormy situations. In the first verse, the song makes use of the metaphor of a storm to describe the challenges of life. When one faces tumultuous times, Howard urges them to hold their head up high and not be afraid of the dark. By using the storm as a metaphor, the song is relatable to people facing any kind of life challenges, whether it's depression, sickness, financial struggles or loss.
The second verse shifts the metaphor into water as Howard asks the listener to walk through the wind and the rain regardless of how daunting it might seem. The lyrics continue to say that even if your dreams get tossed and blown, you should keep walking with hope in your heart. The song's chorus then emphasizes that if one continues to move forward with hope, they will never walk alone. Essentially, the song conveys a message of hope and encourages those going through a difficult time to press on, to not give up, and to know they are not alone.

When you walk through a storm
When you face adversity in life
Hold your head up high
Maintain a positive attitude and stay strong
And don't be afraid of the dark
Do not fear the unknown or uncertain
At the end of a storm there's a golden sky
There is light at the end of the tunnel
And the sweet silver song of a lark
There is hope and beauty in the world
Walk on through the wind
Keep moving forward despite obstacles
Walk on through the rain
Persist through difficult times
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Despite setbacks, never give up on your goals
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
Remain optimistic and keep striving towards your dreams
And you'll never walk alone
You will always have support and companionship, even in tough times

My favorite female singer for years has been K.D. Lang, especially when she sings Roy Orbison's hits.
But, now, OMG Brittany is on the same platform.
This song has been sung by all the greatest voices, and Brittany slays them all away.
This is her song now. The best.
Never heard of her before and a huge new fan, but had given up on this type of music and gravitated to techno, house, deep house, industrial, trance, edm, over the last 20 years.
Have played this over and over and over on the big sound system.
My neighbors are not even tired of me playing it!!!!!

When you walk thru a storm
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 somber
Walk home thru the wind
Walk on thru the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and born
Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone.
