Text Translation	Keep your eyes on the prize. Hold on! (Hold on!) Refrain: Hold on! Hold on! Keep your eyes on the prize. Hold on! (Hold on!) Got my hands on the freedom plow, wouldn’t take nothin’ for my journey now. Keep your eyes on the prize. Hold on! (Hold on!) Only chains that we can stand, are the chains of hand in hand. Keep your eyes on the prize. Hold on! (Hold on!) Refrain Oh, the one thing we did wrong, we stayed in the wilderness too long. Keep your eyes on the prize. Hold on! (Hold on!) Oh, the one thing we did right was the day we started to fight. Keep your eyes on the prize. Hold on! (Hold on!) Refrain Many good souls have fought and died, so we could sing here side by side. Keep your eyes on the prize. Hold on! (Hold on!) Building walls and spreading hate, will not make this country great. Keep your eyes on the prize. Hold on! (Hold on!) Refrain
