[Verse 1]
Paul and Silas bound in jail
Had no money to go their bail
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize and hold on

[Verse 2]
Paul and Silas began to shout
Doors popped open and they walked out
Keep your eyes on the prize and hold on
Hold on, hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize and hold on

[Verse 3]
Only chains that we can stand
Are the chains of hand and hand
Keep your eyes on the prize and hold on
Got my hand on freedom's plow
Won't do nothing for it now
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize and hold on

[Verse 4]
Look what we've become
And the crosses we hang on
Keep your eyes on the prize and hold on
Hold on, yeah, hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize and hold on
Hold on, yeah, hold on
Keep your eyes on the prize and hold on
