Bruce Springsteen

Songwriter: Traditional

Paul and Silas, bound in jail
Had no money 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 gonna meet
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

Hold on, hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

[Marc Anthony Thompson]
The only chain that a man can stand
Is the chain of hand-in-hand
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

[Marc Anthony Thompson]
I'm gonna board that big greyhound
Carry my love from town to town
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

[Marc Anthony Thompson]
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

[Marc Anthony Thompson]
The one 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 I did was wrong)
(Staying in the wilderness too long)
(Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on)

(The one thing we did was right)
(Was the day we started to fight)
(Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on)

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on)
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on)
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

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

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
