What We Don't Know

We don’t know what we don’t see that the other sees,
We don’t know what we don’t hear that the other hears,
We don’t know what we don’t feel that the other feels,
For you are you, I am me, and that’s the way it has to be

We don’t know the skies in which the other flies
We don’t know the waters in which the other swims
We don’t know the mountains that the other climbs
For you are you, I am me, and that’s the way it has to be

We don’t know the songs that the other sings
We don’t know the loves that the other loves
We don’t know the dreams that the other dreams
For you are you, I am me, and that’s the way it has to be

We don’t know the moments that the other lives
We don’t know the days and weeks that the other lives
We don’t know the world in which the other lives
For you are you, I am me, and that’s the way it has to be

Even though we know so much is out of sight
Even though we know so much cannot be shared
Even though we know what we don’t know
We know that you are you, I am me and together we are we

For we is what binds us together in an unbreakable bond
For we is what lights our path as we walk together holding hands
For we is what gives us strength as together we live our lives
For you may be you, I may be me, but what matters is that we are we
