Eyes On The Prize

So just think for the blink, of a singular eye
About what you're doing here, the where and the why
Consider all your options, deliberate your path
Do you know where you're heading? You only get one chance

If you coast on the surface, if you float with the tide
It's a kind of existence, but it's not really life
So dive deep in the water, and kick against the flow
You can be your own captain, you can decide where you go

Keep your eyes on the prize
Keep your eyes on the prize

Some people are broken, some people are hurt
Some people spend all their time just scratching a living in the dirt
Some people are damaged, some people in pain
Some people got problems, some people in chains

Is it because they deserve it?
Well did they do something wrong?
Is it enough for their fate to be defined just by
The place that they were born?
And if you find that you're wealthy
If you're born with a silver spoon and too much bread
Do all you can to lift them up
Stretch out your hand instead of standing
On their heads

Keep your eyes on the prize
Yeah, keep your eyes on the prize

Well we come from nothing, and back we go
A small crescendo, diminuendo
We might just make a ripple, a transient wave
A primal scream fading into decay

But don't let that stop you from kicking up a storm
While your heart is beating, while your blood is warm
If you shoot for the heavens, you might reach the sky
You could soar for a moment, all you can do is try

Keep your eyes on the prize
Keep your eyes on the prize
Yeah, keep your eyes on the prize
Keep your eyes on the prize

Burn bright as you burn up
Burn bright as you burn up
