Lyrics
When you walk through a stormHold your head up highAnd don’t be afraidOf the darkAt the end of a stormIs a golden skyAnd the sweet silver songOf a lark
Walk on through the windWalk on through the rainThough your dreams be tossedAnd blownWalk on, walk onWith hope in your heartAnd you’ll never walk aloneYou’ll neverEver walk alone
Walk on, walk onWith hope in your heartAnd you’ll never walk aloneYou’ll neverEver walk alone
