[Intro: melodic Holler motif] [Verse 1: Bubba male] One eye watched the years behind me One kept chasing roads unseen My heart was split a dozen ways And I forgot the space between [Chorus: Bubba mature male and Darlene unmistakably female] Let my eye be single, Lord Let my heart be clear Not divided by the treasures Or the voices of my fear Help me seek what's true and good And do the things I know I should Let my eye be single, Lord [Verse 2: Darlene female] The light that fills a generous heart Doesn't need a borrowed crown I can work and love and share my bread Without being weighed by every town [Bridge: duet] When the treasures try to own me Call me back to what is true Let my life have undivided love [Final Chorus: swelling full band, duet] Let my eye be single, Lord Let my heart be clear Not divided by the treasures Or the voices of my fear Help me seek what's true and good And do the things I know I should Let my eye be single, Lord [Outro: instrumental resolve, no abrupt cutoff]
