Hi. What's the difference between "we are all..." and "we all are..."? I saw both of these...
We are all
We all are

Thanks.

P.s. "No one can stop us now, 'cause we are all made of stars..." :)

Hi Trueman,

The meaning is the same in both. It is really a question of rhythm. To me 'We are all..' has a natural rhythm, which 'We all are.. doesn't'.
