"Someday We'll Know"

"Someday We'll Know"
Mandy Moore and Jonathan Foreman

[Mandy] Ninety miles outside Chicago
Can’t stop driving I don’t know why
So many questions, I need an answer
Two years later you're still on my mind
[Jonathan] Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
[Both] Did the captain of the Titanic cry?
Oh, Someday we’ll know
[Mandy] If love can move a mountain
[Both] Someday we’ll know
[Jonathan] Why the sky is blue
[Both] Someday we’ll know
Why I wasn’t meant for you...
[Mandy] Does anybody know the way to Atlantis?
[Jonathan] Or what the wind says when she cries?
[Mandy] I’m speeding by the place that I met you
[Both] For the ninety-seventh time...
Tonight
Someday we’ll know
[Mandy] If love can move a mountain
[Both] Someday we’ll know
[Jonathan] Why the sky is blue
[Both] Someday we’ll know
Why I wasn’t meant for you...
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Someday we’ll know
[Jonathan] Why Samson loved Dalilah?
[Both] One day I'll go
[Mandy] Dancing on the moon
[Both] Someday you’ll know
That I was the one for you....
Open up the world
[Mandy] I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
[Jonathan] Watched the stars crash in the sea
[Mandy] If I can ask God just one question
[Both] Why aren’t you here with me tonight?
Oh, Someday we’ll know
[Jonathan] If love can move a mountain
[Both] Someday we’ll know
[Mandy] Why the sky is blue
[Both] Someday we’ll know
Why I wasn’t meant for you...
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Someday we’ll know
[Jonathan] Why Samson loved Dalilah
[Both] One day I'll go
[Mandy] Dancing on the moon
[Both] Someday you’ll know
That I was the one for you....

I'm usually not one for mushy, lovey-dovey stuff but A Walk to Remember is my favorite movie of all time. I've seen it countless times and I still cry like a baby throughout practically the entire movie. When my family sees me putting it in the DVD player they all moan and complain becasue they know that I'm going to be a complete, depressed, wreck for the next few hours or so. Naturally, I purchased the soundtrack and as soon as I heard "Someday We'll Know" I fell in love with it.
There are questions and topics to which we will never know the answers or understand completely and love is one of those topics. Although we may find love, can we ever truly understand it? People find love in different ways and at different times in totoally unique fashions. But we never know when it is going to come around or who that person will be. But someday, we will find that special person that we are destined to spend the rest of our lives with. We must wait and hope for the day to come when we can say "Someday you'll know that I was the one for you."
I may never know if the captain of the Titanic cried. I may never know where Atlantis is actually located. I may never know the whereabouts of Amelia Earhart, but I do know one thing. Love will find me at somepoint in my life, somewhere along the line. This is one thing we can all be sure of if nothing else. We will all find that one special person with whom we can "go dancing on the moon."

I LOVE THIS!! I think that love will find us at some point in our lives and we might not even be aware of it. Sometimes I doubt it though when I think about the possibilities of love finding us. Sometimes I ask myself Will love find us or Do we have to find love? I conclude that love will find us because that's what makes love love. Love has to look for us and take us unexpectedly. That is what makes it special and memorable. If you ever ask older people how they found they mate or how they met for the first time, they will just smile shyly and start off with some unique story. To me, everyone stories that I've heard is so special and different from the others that I conclude with the saying that love will find us at some point.
