The Audience of One

I want to be on stage
Want to sing my heart out
For an adoring crowd who buys my EP
I want to hear the applause
Feel the congratulations shower over me
As someone sings my song with me
I want to be known
A somebody to everybody
A supernova

But what if the crowd is just ammunition
For my own egotistical, selfish ambition
What if I'm building an altar in honour of me?

I want to tour the world
Show the folks in Japan what Joburg sounds like
When you sing it
I want to come back home
Play with the bands that I look up to
In more gigs than I can count

But what if the shows are just ammunition
For my own egotistical, selfish ambition
What if I'm building an altar in honour of me?

I think my heart's exposed
My vain self-obsession's been revealed
In my need to be revered
So I am asking You please
Take away this desire to be loved
By people I don't even know

Remove all these things that are just ammunition
For my own egotistical, selfish ambition
Stop me from building an altar in honour of me
Remind me true greatness is only accomplished
When You become more and I become much less
Teach this young egotist some humility

So I don't need their approval
'Cause I already have Yours
And what more would I need than that?
So now when I play and perform out there
Remind me that I'm simply playing
For an audience of one

An audience of one
An audience of one
You're my audience of one
