EYES ON THE PRIZE
SHEET MUSIC (to come)  |  YouTube
Lyrics by Alice Wine and members of the Moving Star Hall, Johns Island

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

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
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

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize
Hold on

Freedom’s name is mighty sweet
And soon we’re going to meet
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
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

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

Only chain that a man can stand
Is that chain of hand on hand
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize
Hold on

The only thing I did was wrong
Was staying in the wilderness too long
Keep your eyes on the prize
Hold on

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
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

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize
Hold on
