For All We Know

Joan Baez · Other Songs - Joan Baez

For all we know

We may never meet again

Before we go

Make this moment live again

We won't say goodbye

Until the last minute

I'll hold out my hand

And my heart will be in it



For all we know

This might only be a dream

We come and we go

Like the ripples, like the ripples in the stream

So baby, love me, love me tonight

Tomorrow was made for some

Oh, but tomorrow

But tomorrow may never, never come

For all we know

Yes, tomorrow may never, never come

For all we know

For All We Know - Joan Baez

Joan Baez's 'For All We Know' stands as a poignant testament to her role as a chronicler of the American folk revival. Recorded during the height of the 1960s counterculture movement, the song reflects the era's deep engagement with social justice and the uncertainty of the future. Baez's distinctive vocal delivery, characterized by its clarity and emotional restraint, delivers a message of cautious optimism that resonated with listeners seeking hope amidst turmoil. The track exemplifies the genre's tendency to weave personal narrative with broader political commentary, a hallmark of her discography that bridged the gap between traditional folk and progressive activism. As a staple of her catalog, the recording captures the spirit of a time when music served as a primary vehicle for expressing collective ideals and questioning societal norms.
