Eyes On The Prize lyrics

Lyrics

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 lean 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

Only chain that a man can stand
Is that chain of hand in hand
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
I'm gonna board that big greyhound
Carry me up from town to town
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

Hold on, hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

The only thing I did was wrong
Was stayin' in the wilderness too long
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
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

Ain't been to heaven but I been told
Street's up there are paved with gold…
