YOU’LL NEVER TALK ALONE

YOU’LL NEVER TALK ALONE
(“You’ll Never Walk Alone”
by Rodgers & Hammerstein)

When you talk on the phone
Keep your chin up high
And look for the bug in your room.
At the end of the line
Is a government spy,
Which at least
It is wise to assume.

Talk on to your friends,
Talk on making plans,
Though your every word is known . . .
Talk on, talk on, with peace in your heart
And you’ll never talk alone!
You’ll never talk alone.

When you check out a book,
If it’s slightly left,
You may soon find yourself in a pen
In Guantanamo or Bulgaria,
And you’ll never be heard from again.

Read on, learn the truth
Just because you are free,
And your mind is still your own.
Read on, read on, with peace in your heart–
And you’ll never read alone.
You’ll never read alone!

When you march down a street
With courageous friends
And you call out for peace coast to coast
Someone’s making a list–
It ain’t Santa Claus–
But he knows who you are, and you’re toast!

March on, all good folks,
March on, banners high
As the seeds of peace are sewn;
March on, march on with hope in your heart
And you’ll never march alone!
You’ll never march alone!
