That's what all the wise men say
But I believe it goes back and forth
For each lesson learned, another's lost
Take half of me, I don't mind
If I get to heaven with one eye blind
Take the part of me that understands
If I don't lift a finger, don't
Between left and right, up and down
A fear that makes folks run and hide
And to leave a neighbor on the roadside
Take half of me, I don't mind
If I get to heaven with one eye blind
Take the part of me that understands
If I don't lift a finger, don't
God's in heaven, I suppose
That he looks on earth with one eye closed
For if a man controls his destiny
It's the part of life God doesn't see
Take half of me, I don't mind
If I get to heaven with one eye blind
Take the part of me that understands
If I don't lift a finger, I
If I get dead, I'm with the one I blind you
