Eyes on the Prize Lyrics

Here I go again

Just couldn't let go of the pen

Too many messages to write

So many that I've yet to send

To all of those listenin'

This is how my time is spent

Till my life comes to an end

When I run out of oxygen

Listen yo you having trouble with your life?

You work your job or study hard

But something isn't right

You stressin' out cause of bills

Trying to make ends meet

You diggin' your own grave

Feels like you've dug ten feet

And happiness is everywhere but nowhere in your sight

And it's hard to find the strength to continue on in this fight

As you try to keep the glasses filled but now your pitcher's empty

And seeing others do it with ease is filling you with envy

Well I'm here to tell you this man we all can relate

No life is picture perfect and not everything is great

But you're not out after three strikes you're doing great you're bowling

Perspective is everything you're winning you just don't know it

No progress without compromise

No success without sacrifice

Experience is what makes us wise

All the lows and the highs

Every lesson applies

No progress without compromise

No success without sacrifice

It's only a matter of how many tries

You have all the supplies

Keep your eyes on the prize

You've got all the money you could need

Doesn't mean

You are freed

From the power or the greed

Don't you see?

These are traits that money breeds

I don't think you understand how many people we could feed

Anyway I went astray

From the point I'm trying to get to

I know that you have problems too

I don't mean to offend you

Maybe we could be friends who

Understand the troubles and hardships

So we don't act like we're starvin'

For others on the menu

Cause we're eating each other alive

Doing anything for us to survive

But realize

That when you look at the word "survive"

You will find a big surprise

What it actually states is: serve I have

The more you practice selfless acts

You'll find more words like that

And I've never spent a day in your shoes

And that's enough knowledge

For me to abolish

Any judgment that I might have on your views

Instead

Let's exchange perspectives

Be reflective

And understand that everyone in the world is connected

No progress without compromise

No success without sacrifice

Experience is what makes us wise

All the lows and the highs

Every lesson applies

No progress without compromise

No success without sacrifice

It's only a matter of how many tries

You have all the supplies

Keep your eyes on the prize

No progress without compromise

No success without sacrifice

Experience is what makes us wise

All the lows and the highs

Every lesson applies

No progress without compromise

No success without sacrifice

It's only a matter of how many tries

You have all the supplies

Keep your eyes on the prize
