You'll Never Walk Alone

When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the 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

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Background

The song is from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical "Carousel". The scene is of a father inspiring his daughter with the words "You'll never walk alone", after she has been shamed at her graduation ceremony.

The song also became a hit for Gerry Marsden of 'Gerry and the Pacemakers'. Gerry sung the crowd favourite before the last game in front of a standing Kop against Norwich and was almost brought to tears by the occasion.

Why did Liverpool fans adopt the song? One rumour is that it was played at Anfield a few times before matches, then one Saturday it wasn't played over the P.A. but the Kop started singing it anyway and from there it grew to become the kop favourite that is recognised the world over!
