You Never Know
Would you like paper or plastic, asked an older voice
Looks like you smushed your bread
My car is parked quite far, that's ok, what do you do?
Then we talked awhile about what he did
Now the missus wants him out from under her shoes
And it's nice to talk to people like you
Thank you now, see you soon
As I drove away I couldn't help but feel surprised
By what this man had done with his life
He fought for his country went to universities
Then spent 40 years as chief engineer
But his humble appearance and his grocery uniform
Had me completely misinformed
I didn't know who I'd been talking to
We must be kind, to one another
Don't let your mind speak too soon
Cause you never know
You never know
You never know
Who you're talking to
2000 years ago, two parents lost their son
A brave and bright 12 year old
They found him with the wise men, and the doctors of law
And his wisdom simply amazed them all
But his young humble appearance, his clothes old and worn
Had them completely misinformed
They didn't know who they were talking to
He said We must be kind, to one another
Don't let your mind speak too soon
Cause you never know
You never know
You never know
Who you're talking to
A young mother stranded alone with her child
Miles from home a cold snowy night
A stranger appeared, fixed her tire
Calmed her fears, and from where he came
He then disappeared
But his humble appearance, a dog he called sport
Had her completely misinformed
She didn't know who she'd been talking to
We must be kind, to one another
Don't let your mind speak too soon
Cause you never know
You never know
You never know
Who you're talking to
You never know
Who you're talking to
Looks like you smushed your bread
My car is parked quite far, that's ok, what do you do?
Then we talked awhile about what he did
Now the missus wants him out from under her shoes
And it's nice to talk to people like you
Thank you now, see you soon
As I drove away I couldn't help but feel surprised
By what this man had done with his life
He fought for his country went to universities
Then spent 40 years as chief engineer
But his humble appearance and his grocery uniform
Had me completely misinformed
I didn't know who I'd been talking to
We must be kind, to one another
Don't let your mind speak too soon
Cause you never know
You never know
You never know
Who you're talking to
2000 years ago, two parents lost their son
A brave and bright 12 year old
They found him with the wise men, and the doctors of law

But his humble appearance, a dog he called sport

We must be kind, to one another
Don't let your mind speak too soon
Cause you never know
You never know
You never know
Who you're talking to
You never know
Who you're talking to
