Answer

We have to wait for the answer or solution that will come to us in the near future.

Answer

This means that something will only be known in the distant future. Think of “time” as having a secret that it will only “tell” us in the future.

“Only time will tell if these new policies will improve this country’s economy.”

“Do you think Mary will get over her husband’s death?”
“Hopefully. Only time will tell.”
