Pete Seeger - Keep Your Eyes on the Prize lyrics
[Pete Seeger - Keep Your Eyes on the Prize lyrics]
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
