Hold on


Comment on Youtube:

"Watching this over and over for the past 21 months made me keep working and keep believing. Eyes on the Prize, President-Elect Obama, sometimes things really do work out and goodness prevails.Thanks all who contributed to this song for being the fuel that kept me going when campaign work exhausted me. " (This refers to the Springsteen version).
This version is beyond words:
Comment on Youtube:
"Those images are unfamiliar to most young people who don't understand how far the country has come in 50 years. Those "happy days" were for us white folks, but the struggle for the blacks was still there. I know it still is to an extent, but anyone in these videos could not have ever believed we could be where we are today with Obama as Pres. Very powerful video, thanx for posting."

Paul and Silas bound in jail
Had no money for to go their bail
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

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

Only chain that a man can stand
Is that chain of hand to hand
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

I'm gonna board that big greyhound
Carry the love from town to town
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

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

Hey! Hey! Now only thing I did was wrong
Was stayin' in the wilderness too long
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

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