I agree with your first interpretation, as he addresses the object of the song in the second person, and God in the third person - as an aside - and the rest of the song proceeds in the second person. Also, I'm not sure it is necessarily addressed at a lover. It could be addressed at anybody close to him, a good friend, a mentor, or even society. It might be addressed at a particular community, such as the church, or an ambitious or over-zealous parent. Perhaps it is left deliberately ambiguous so as to be addressable at anybody the listener desires - the mark of a good entertainer: he sings about the listener and not about himself. |
