You'll Never Walk Alone
Rogers and Hammerstein Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you walk through a storm
Hold your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark.
Walk on, through the wind,
Walk on, through the rain,
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.
