Rodent Regatta

I was fortunate to go to high school at a time when we did great junior/senior plays. In those years, musicals were still popular. Music within the context of a play or movie has enormous power to stir us.

Sometimes the lyrics cross over to just the mood or context that we need in spite of how they pertain to the plot of the play. Here’s a great example:

You’ll Never Walk Alone

by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein

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 walk alone.
