The Audience Of One Lyrics - Jo Tomlinson

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
