No One Knows Tomorrow
Anthony B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just the other day, the other day
I was talking to the weather man about today, oh, oh, oh
And all, all he could say
Was no one knows tomorrow

See I can read the weather, child
I can say maybe the rain will fall, the sun will shine, oh, oh, oh
But that's as far as my guess goes
'Cause no one knows tomorrow
Oh, oh, ha, no one knows tomorrow

Tell me what's the need to go to war
All the killings just to settle some one else's score, oh, oh
When the victory isn't even sure, oh, oh, oh
No one knows tomorrow

See we can study history
And philosophy and Plato's ideology, oh, oh, oh
But tomorrows still a mystery
No one knows tomorrow, oh, oh, ha

No one knows tomorrow, oh
No one knows tomorrow, oh, oh, ha
No one knows tomorrow, oh, ha

Tomorrow is your opportunity to fail
Or be successful if you please, yes indeed
Tomorrow is a politician's today
It's the victim of decision and the future of our children

So when I die someday will I be in heavenly places
Singing hallelujah with an angel on the piano?
Or will I be just another contribution
To the earth, the tress, the grasses as tomorrow slowly passes?

No one knows, no one knows
No one knows, no one knows
No one knows, no one knows
No one knows

So when I die someday will I be in heavenly places
Singing hallelujah with an angel on the piano?
Or will I be just another contribution
To the earth, the tress, the grasses as tomorrow slowly passes?

No one knows, no one knows




No one knows, no one knows
No one knows

Overall Meaning

The song "No One Knows Tomorrow" by Anthony B is a thoughtful reflection on the uncertainty of tomorrow. The song begins with the singer talking to the weather man and realizing that while he can predict the weather, he cannot predict what tomorrow will bring. The chorus emphasizes the theme of the song, with the repeated refrain of "No one knows tomorrow."


The second verse addresses the futility of war and violence as a means of settling disputes, as the outcome is never certain. The singer suggests that even with all of our knowledge of history and philosophy, the future remains a mystery. The final verse is a contemplation of death and what may happen after we pass away. The uncertainty of the future is once again emphasized, as the singer wonders if he will go to heaven or simply become another part of the earth.


Overall, the song is a reminder that life is unpredictable and that we should cherish every moment we have. It encourages listeners to let go of fear and anxiety about the future and focus on living in the present.
