Hello again.
Thomas asked me to post the words to a song which Uncle Mick loved, the Liverpool Anthem as it is know in the UK. This song is played at every Liverpool football game and is played at every family occassion in Liverpool. Uncle Mick came from Liverpool and Monica's mum came from Liverpool, also know as the other capital of Ireland. When yoju read the words you will know the significance.

You’ll Never Walk Alone
Written by Rogers and Hammerstein for the 1945 Broadway musical 'Carousel', Gerry Marsden and his Pacemakers performed the song in Liverpool clubs during the birth of Merseybeat. "The audience would just stop, stand and listen. It had this immediate effect," says Marsden. Released in October 1963, YNWA was the Pacemakers' third consecutive number one and nowhere was it more popular than on the Kop, as fans sang along with the PA before matches. When it fell from the top spot, Kopites continued to sing it and YNWA has been played and sung at Anfield ever since.

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the 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 walk alone
