Story behind the song
I sang this song in police custody, while waiting for my first interrogation.
Lyrics
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!
The very moment we thought we was lost,
Dungeon shook and the chains fell off,
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on.
Hold on, hold on,
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on!
Only thing that we did wrong
Was stayin' in the wilderness so long,
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on.
Hold on, hold on,
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on!
Only thing that we did right
Was the day we begun to fight!
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on!
Got my hand on the freedom plough.
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!
