Lyrics:
With blisters on his fingers
Charley laid his hammer down
Took a breath for just a moment
Shook his head then hammered on
All the years of sweat and labor,
and the loss of days for fun
Charley takes the trade he's given
for an Audience of One.

Lester never pulled together what it takes to make it work
Lacked the mind and skill that's needed
went from job to job and worse
Lays his head now in the rain with a sign most people shun,
lifts his eyes to find he matters to an Audience of One.

She's been stitching' seams and mending things,
she's given most her life
No one thanked her for her efforts, no one notices her plight
Never married, no one offered, not an option for Yvonne
Still she finds her soul's contentment in an Audience of One.

Sophie's parents, never knew the lack of peace she'd bare alone
Thought the best of what they'd done, and had some issues of their own
Yet through tears and years of struggle now
she finds that peace has come
and now he lives her life before an Audience of One.

Through the years they've come and gone without
awareness from the crowd
Not a notice of existence for their efforts by the proud
But recognition only matters, for those born under the sun
who've never learned the value of an Audience of One.
Recognition only matters for those born under the sun
who've never learned the value of an Audience of One.
