You Never Know


They are the stranger across the street. You glimpse their face, you catch their eye, But I ask you… Do you know? They are your friends. You laugh together, you study together, But I ask you… Do you know? They are your best friend. You know her secrets she knows yours, But I ask you… Do you know? They are your child. You know them, you made them, they are you, But I ask you… Do you know? No matter how much we think we know people, We never know what they may be thinking, planning, or dreaming. So I ask you… Do you know? No, you never know.
