No One Will Ever Know Lyrics by Original Off Broadway Cast of Penelope

Penelope

2022

[PENELOPE, spoken]
"Hope to see you soon... comma... Your Odysseus."
Now, let's see what we've got
Oh, this is good. This is good
No, it's not good... It's brilliant!
[Sung]
This story has everything a story should
It punishes the evil and rewards the good
Meeting equal justice to the high and low
And it thrills me so
That it's mine, although
No one can ever know
No one will ever know
Writing on a deadline can be very hard
Choosing what to run with and what to discard
There are times I don't know where the plot will go
Yet the words tonight reach a newfound height
Of poetry, even though
No onе will ever know
If this work survives
By somе quirk, survives
Stories told and retold through the ages
What a lark to think
Of those distant lives
Sailing on the rhythm of these pages
[Spoken]
Wait, what? This part makes no sense
Why would he do that?
Why would he say that?
No one would say that
[Sung]
This story has problems from the very start
And right here in the middle is where it falls apart
It loses the humanity, the tone and flow
It's a hopeless mess
I should toss
Unless
[Spoken]
What if I cut this part...
Expand this section, move this part over here
Repeat this phrase, add some humor...
(laughs)
Cut the humor...
And we are back!
[Sung]
And maybe they'll see what I'm struggling with
Trying to make some sense of life in the wilderness of myth
This story has everything I long to say
With feelings that I never thought I'd give away
Right before my eyes, I see this hero grow
And I feel this pride
Welling up inside
So what if they never know?
So what if they never know?
If people read and talk about it
Can't imagine life without it
If it brings some meaning to them
If it keeps on living through them
Then it's not about me and my vanity
It's okay that they don't know
Because I will always know
I will always know
Yes, I will always know
