  Canción compuesta por Richard Rodgers y Oscar Hammerstein (letra)​ para el musical Carousel en 1945. Cantada por los hinchas de Liverpool F.C. ha tenido muchas versiones. Destaco la de Nina Simone y esta Elvis Presley Letra  When you walk through 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 song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain, though your dreams be tossed and blown..

You'll never walk alone.
