After All
The Kry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are questions on my mind
To which I can't find the answers
I've been wondering for some time
when will I ever know?

Waiting for a sign
In Your word I soon discover
It's one step at a time
All I need is faith

There is hope in what You say
There are answers to my questions
And I know You won't delay
I know You'll see me through

So help me trust in You
When I feel like walking fences
When the things that I hold true
don't seem to matter at all

Knowing You hold it
Hold it together in the hollow of Your hand

After all, after all
There's a reason for tomorrow
After all, after all, after all

All the years go by
Looking for some explanation
the more I learn the more I find
The less I really know

I know better now
I don't claim to be a wise man
When my heart is full of doubts I'll leave it up to You

I know that you hold me
Hold me together in the hollow of Your hand

After all, after all
There's a reason for tomorrow
After all, after all, after all

I know that in the end it will be evident
the reason for it all...





After all, after all...

The chorus repeats the phrase 'after all' as a reminder that there will be reasons for all the struggles and pain that one endures in life; that in the end, it will all make sense.


The second stanza touches on the theme of the futility of man's quest for knowledge.
