Lyrics
You're a nobody till somebody loves you
You lack significance or identity until someone loves you.
You're nobody till somebody cares
Your worth is defined by the attention and concern someone shows for you.
You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold
Even if you are a king and possess immense wealth, it doesn't guarantee happiness.
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old
Wealth (gold) loses its value in bringing joy as you age.
The world still is the same, you'll never change it
The world remains constant, and your efforts may not alter it.
As sure as the stars shine above
Assurance that certain things, like stars shining, are unchanging.

Your existence gains meaning only through someone's love.
