My Blueberry Nights Movie Soundtrack Lyrics
Mavis Staples - Eyes on the Prize
Paul and Silas, bound in jail
Had no money for the golden 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 in 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
The only thing I did was wrong
Was stayin' in the wilderness too long
Keep your eyes on the prize, Hold on
Only 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
Ain't been to heaven but I been told,
Street's up there are paved with gold…
