Keep Your Eyes on the Prize |
| Paul and Silas bound in jail |
| Had no money for to go their bail |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| Paul and Silas thought they was lost |
| Dungeon shook and the chains come off |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| Freedom’s name is mighty sweet |
| And soon we’re gonna meet |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| I got my hand on the gospel plow |
| Won’t take nothing for my journey now |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| Hold on, hold on |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| Soozie! |
| Only chain that a man can stand |
| Is that chain o' hand on hand |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| I’m gonna board that big greyhound |
| Carry the love from town to town |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| Hold on, hold on |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| Hey! |
| Hey! |
| Now only thing I did was wrong |
| Stayin' in the wilderness too long |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| The only thing we did was right |
| Was the day we started to fight |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| Hold on, hold on |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| One, two! |
| (The only thing we did was wrong) |
| (Staying in the wilderness too long) |
| (Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on) |
| Woah, woah! |
| (The only thing we did was right) |
| (Was the day we started to fight) |
| (Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on) |
| Hold on, hold on |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| Hold on, hold on |
| Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on |
| Ain’t been to heaven but I been told |
| Streets up there are paved with gold |
