Eyes on the Prize Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen

Paul and Silas were bound in jail
Had no money for to go their bail
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

Paul and Silas thought they were 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 goin′ to meet
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

I got my hand on the gospel plow
Wouldn'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

The only chains that a man can stand
Is that chains of 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

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

The only thing...
The only thing we did was wrong
Staying in the wilderness much 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

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
