| No One Knows words and music by bob padgett January 10, 2006 (music written in Fall 2005, lyrics and additional music in Dec. ‘05 & Jan. ‘06) Stony Brook, NY & Stroudsburg, PA ©2005-06 clamchop creative studio No one knows what I’ve been going through I make it look so much better than it is I’m so convincing, my smile and my game face No one, no one knows… No one knows how hard this is for me They can’t relate to this battle in my heart They don’t even know the war is waging No one knows… But then a voice says to me Is there really nobody? There is One who has been here too Who has seen even harder times There is One who has been here One who’s been tempted Suffered worse than I… No one knows about the things I’ve done My firewalled concealments of the places I‘ve gone What would they think if they knew the truth No one, no one knows No one knows the dark side of me My Anakin keeps losin’ to the Vader within I do what I hate and don’t do what I want No one knows Still a voice says to me Is there really nobody? There is One who has been here too Who has seen even harder times There is One who has been here One who’s been tempted Suffered worse than I… No one cares about the heartache I bear They’re all just too busy in their own worlds to care They don’t give a rip—they don’t even dare No one cares… But still a voice says to me Is there really nobody? There is One who has been here too Who has seen even harder times There is One who has been here One who’s been tempted Suffered worse than I… So is it true, how the story goes That Another One cares—Another One knows? He’s been thru it all, and His faithfulness shows That Someone, Someone cares |
