 YOULL NEVER WALK ALONE 
One of Mrs. Viola's favorite songs 
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 a lark. Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, 
Through your dreams be tossed and blown. Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart, 
And you'll never walk alone. ---,... You'// never walk alone. 
Walk one, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone. "You'll ne-ever walk alone. 
(Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein)
