Who Knows
Hayward Justin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I walk the streets all alone
Searching the faces for someone
Someone to take me back home, back home
Who knows where the future leads us
The waters are wide, the road is long
I pray for a hand to guide us
So many miles come between us
And fate seems to keep us apart
Fortune once brought us together
Is there a still a place in your heart, in your heart
Someday when my journey's over
I'll come stumbling back to you, my love
And I know when the circle's broken
I'll come tumbling back to you, my love
But I long for the day
I can call you and say
I'm a step on the way back to you
Sometimes I find myself searching
As I walk the streets all alone
I'm searching the faces for someone
Someone to take me back home
Back home
Who knows what the morning brings us
The moment of truth, the power of love
I know where the future leads me
It's leading me back to you, my love
The lyrics to Hayward Justin's song "Who Knows" seem to be an expression of longing and hope for a return to a kind of home. The singer of the song is apparently walking or wandering through streets, searching for someone to take them back home. This someone might be a specific person, or it might be a feeling or a sense of belonging that the singer is hoping to rediscover. The lyrics suggest that fate has somehow separated the singer from this home or this person, but that the singer is still hopeful that they will find their way back.
The second stanza of the song continues this theme of uncertainty and hope. The singer acknowledges that the future is uncertain, and that many miles and obstacles may come between them and this home or this person. However, the singer seems to be praying for guidance and for a hand to guide them back. The lyrics seem to be expressing the idea that hope is a powerful force that can help us navigate even the most difficult and uncertain of paths. The chorus of the song reinforces this idea of hope, as the singer expresses their belief that they will eventually make their way back to this home or this person.
The final stanza of the song provides a kind of resolution, expressing the singer's belief that they will someday return to this home or this person. The lyrics describe the singer coming stumbling or tumbling back, which suggests that the journey has not been an easy one. However, the singer seems to be motivated by a deep and abiding love, and seems confident that they will eventually make their way back. The final lines of the song express the singer's desire to reach out and make contact with this home or this person, suggesting that the journey is not yet complete.

Sometimes I find myself searching
Occasionally, I feel as though I'm seeking something
As I walk the streets all alone
While walking the lonely streets, thinking about my search
Searching the faces for someone
Trying to find someone to interact with, connect with
Someone to take me back home, back home
Someone with whom I can relate, with whom I feel secure and at home
Who knows where the future leads us
No one can definitively know where we'll end up
The waters are wide, the road is long
The path ahead is unclear and will likely be difficult
I pray for a hand to guide us
I hope that we'll find somebody who can assist us
And welcome us back where we belong
They'll take us back to where we feel comfortable and at ease
So many miles come between us
The distance between us is vast and separates us
And fate seems to keep us apart
It appears that destiny or some higher power is preventing us from being together
Fortune once brought us together
Chance or luck originally brought us into each other's lives
Is there still a place in your heart, in your heart
Do you still have any feelings for me?
Someday when my journey's over
Eventually when I've completed my quest
I'll come stumbling back to you, my love
I'll return overwhelmed with emotion and frailty
And I know when the circle's broken
I'm aware that once our relationship is shattered
I'll come tumbling back to you, my love
I'll return immediately to you, where I feel the most secure and loved
But I long for the day
I yearn for that moment in the future
I can call you and say
That I can reach out to you and communicate my feelings
I'm a step on the way back to you
I'm taking steps to return to you, taking action towards our reconciliation
Who knows what the morning brings us
None of us can predict what tomorrow's events will be like
The moment of truth, the power of love
That significant instant when we realize the strength of our love for one another
I know where the future leads me
I'm sure of where my destiny lies
It's leading me back to you, my love
It's guiding me back to the one I love

This man has done more great music, both solo and in the Moody Blues and Blue Jays than anyone. His music is so evocative it gives me chills. This album especially brings back deeply emotional times and memories--both good and bad. Thank you for everything you've given the world!
