One of my favourite songs was on the early TV this morning, this time by a young singer with the violinist Andre Rieu, and the same song has been sung by countless singers such as Nina Simone Johnny Cash Gordon MacRae Frank Sinatra Judy Garland Mario Lanza Roy Hamilton Doris Day Gerry & The Pacemakers Patti LaBelle and the BlueBelles Elvis Presley The Blind Boys Of Alabama Bryn Terfel.

It's 'You'll never walk alone' and it's from Roger and Hammestein's musical Carousel which I saw as a film many years ago. It's a golden oldie but for ever new with words of encouragement and hope. My thoughts are with lots of friends and sons and daughters of friends who are having a tough time these days, particularly the courageous men and women who speak the truth.

Here are the words:

You'll Never Walk Alone

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 is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
