When I stand before the Lord, I'll be standing alone This journey is my own Still I want man's advice, and I need man's approval This journey is my own Why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price What does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life So much of what I do is to make a good impression This journey is my own And so much of what I say is to make myself look better But this journey is my own And why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price And what does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life And I have never felt relief like I feel it right now
This journey is my own Cuz trying to please the world, it was breaking me down It was breaking me down And now I live and I breathe for an audience of one Now I live and I breathe for an audience of one Now I live and I breathe for an audience of one Cuz I know this journey is my own And why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price And what does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life And you can live for someone else, and it will only bring you pain I can't even judge myself, only the Lord can say, 'Well done.' Oh, this journey is my own
