For All We Know
Embracing the Uncertainty: For All We Know by Nina Simone
Lyrics
For all we know
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the future
We may never meet again
There's a chance that we might not have another opportunity to meet
Before we go
Before departing or moving on
Make this moment live again
Make this present moment meaningful once more
We won't say goodbye
We won't bid farewell
Until the last minute
Until the very end or at the final instant
I'll hold out my hand
I'll offer my support or assistance
And my heart will be in it
I'll wholeheartedly engage emotionally
For all we know
Similar to line 1, contemplating uncertainties
This might only be a dream
This moment might be fleeting or imaginary
We come and we go
Humans enter and exit existence, likened to the movement of ripples in a stream
Like the ripples, like the ripples in the stream
Comparing life's transience to ripples in a stream
So baby, love me, love me tonight
Expressing a desire for affection and closeness tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Future holds promise for some individuals
Oh, but tomorrow
Emphasizing uncertainty about the future
But tomorrow may never, never come
The future might not arrive for some, hence cherish the present
For all we know
Reiterating uncertainty regarding the future
Yes, tomorrow may never, never come
Emphasizing the possibility that tomorrow might not come
For all we know
Final reiteration of uncertainty about the future
