Nobody Knows
Billy Squier Lyrics

I may get around
I have a mobile lifestyle and I am not restricted to one place.

I may laugh a lot
I have a jolly and carefree personality that often finds humor in things.

Now you'd think that I'd be happy with the life I got
It seems that my current circumstances should be enough for me to be content.

Nobody knows
Despite what others may assume, no one truly understands my thoughts, feelings, and desires.

Nobody sees
No one is able to perceive what is inside me or decipher my true emotions and aspirations.

Ain't nobody really knows the inner side of me
No one has the ability to comprehend who I truly am as a person.

I may seem secure
I present myself as a confident and self-assured individual.

I could have it made
It might appear as if I have achieved success and financial stability.

You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade
You might assume that I am fortunate and have met some kind of standard of excellence.

Nobody knows what dreams I see
No one is privy to the aspirations and desires that fill my mind and heart.

Ain't nobody really sure just who they want to be
No one truly knows their purpose and identity in life.

But everybody has a place and time
Everyone has an existence that is significant and meaningful at some point in their life.

A chance to live
An opportunity to experience and enjoy life.

A need to find
A desire to discover a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment.

We all got somethin' that we care about
Everyone has something that is important and meaningful to them.

I propose you find it out
I suggest that people explore and discover what they are passionate about and purposeful in pursuing.

It's not in a book, or a magazine
The answers to one's fulfillment and purpose cannot be found in reading material or media.

Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen
Celebrities who are idolized and emulate ideals in the media cannot provide direction and guidance for self-discovery and fulfillment.

Nobody knows, it's up to me
There is no one who knows my path to self-discovery and it is up to me to pursue it.

Ain't nobody who can say it like it outght to be
No one can tell me exactly how I should live my life or pursue my passions.

I see my future at the rainbow's end
I envision a joyful and satisfying future at the end of my pursuits and goals.

Happy hours, timeless friends
I anticipate joyful times with loved ones that will endure through time.

And if I ever chance to find my way
If I happen to stumble upon the path that leads to fulfillment and happiness.

Rest assured, I will stay
I will remain on that path and not lose my way.

You may see your life as a compromise
Others may view their lives as settling for something less than their full potential.

You may live to find the promise dancin' in your eyes
Others may live to discover a promise of unfulfilled potential that dances in their soul.

Nobody knows, it's meant to be
No one knows the fate of their own journey, it is simply meant to be.

Let the magic of the moment say it all to me
Allow the miraculous and enchanting experiences throughout life to guide inwards reflection and self-discovery.
