Lyrics by Alice Wine
Paul and Silas bound in jail
Had no money for to go their bail
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
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
Hold on, hold on...
Freedom's name is mighty sweet
And soon we're gonna meet
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
Hold on, 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...
Only chain that a man can stand
Is that chain o' hand on hand
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
Hold on, hold on...
I'm gonna board that big greyhound
Carry the love from town to town
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
