I’m Not Living For Their Applause
© 2025 R3Zondo

they don’t feel the weight i’m waking with
they don’t dream the dreams i’m aching with
i’m the one who has to walk this road
if i stall, the years will steal my time
if i fold, i’ll lose what could be mine
why let their fear define the life i own

i’m not living for their applause, i’m living for my own
every step i’ve had to take has pulled me closer home
and the voices in the distance fade like wind against a stone
i’m not living for their applause, i’m living for my own

they throw stones from quiet places
never risked their dreams or chased them
still they talk like they’ve been walking through the night
but i build slow while they keep sleeping
every loss is worth the keeping
i’m reaching farther than their narrow lines of sight

i’m not living for their applause, i’m living for my own
every step i’ve had to take has pulled me closer home
and the voices in the distance fade like wind against a stone
i’m not living for their applause, i’m living for my own

i’m living for my own

(Summary)

This song is my reminder to trust my own path instead of chasing approval from people who never risk anything themselves. I wrote it to reclaim the energy I lose worrying about their judgment. Only I live with the dreams I don’t pursue. Only I carry the consequences of holding back. These lyrics are me choosing independence, choosing courage, and choosing to listen to my own voice, even when it feels lonely. This one is about freedom, not validation.

I love animals. Especially the stubborn ones: cats, donkeys, sheep, cows, dogs that stop in the middle of a walk in the rain (basset hounds, beagles) and, above all, alpacas, which know the difference between those they will follow and those they won't. Animals that like to go against the grain.

Lyrics. 

[Verse]
We step in line one by one
Hooves tap-tap under the sun
The hills roll wide the sky’s undone

[Chorus]
A little walk with my 36 alpacas
They hum a tune it’s a wild sonata
Step by step we own the panorama
Oh yeah oh yeah my woolly drama

[Verse 2]
Their coats of fluff sway in the breeze
A rainbow herd across the trees
We make the trail a masterpiece

[Prechorus]
Their eyes like stars so bold so bright
They march with pride they own the night

[Chorus]
A little walk with my 36 alpacas
They hum a tune it’s a wild sonata
Step by step we own the panorama
Oh yeah oh yeah my woolly drama

[Bridge]
One stops to sneeze another stares
Two get tangled who even cares
We laugh we run we don’t compare
Our fluffy love is beyond repair
