Paul and Silas bound in jail, Had no money to go their bail
Freedom’s name is mighty sweet And soon we’re gonna meet
Keep your eyes on the prize Hold on
Paul and Silas thought they was lost, Dungeon shook and the chains come off
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 o’hand on hand
The only thing I did was wrong Was stayin’ in the wilderness too long
Keep your eyes on the prize Hold on
I’m gonna board that big Greyhound, Carry the love from town to town
The one thing we did was right Was the day we started to fight
Keep your eyes on the prize Hold on
Ain’t been to heaven but I been told Streets up there are paved with gold
