[Verse 1]
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
But this journey is my own

[Refrain]
Why would I want to live for man
And pay the highest price?
What does it mean to gain the whole world
Only to lose my life?

[Verse 2]
And 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

[Refrain]
And why would I want to live for man
And pay the highest price?
And what does it mean to gain the whole world
Only to lose my life?
[Interlude]
(Lose my life)
Ohh
Mmm

[Verse 3]
And I have never felt relief
Like I feel it right now
This journey is my own
'Cause tryin' to please the world
It was breakin' me down
It was breakin' me down

[Bridge]
And now I live and I breathe (I live for)
For an audience of one (I breathe for)
Now I live and I breathe (I live for)
For an audience of one (I breathe for)
Now I live and I breathe (I live for)
For an audience of one (I breathe for one)
'Cause I know this journey is my own (This journey is my own)

[Refrain]
And why would I want to live for man
And pay the highest price?
And what does it mean to gain the whole world
Only to lose my life?
[Interlude]
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"

[Outro]
Ohh
Ohh, woah, woah
This journey is my own
(I live for)
(I breathe for)
(I live for) This journey
(I breathe for) Is my own
(I live for)
(I breathe for one)
(This journey is my own)
Ohh
Mmm
