When the cards are against you and hope has moved on
When your trust is abandoned by those up and gone
And they come to your home to take all that you've won
Keep your eyes on the prize and your hand on your gun
When the night is on fire and rain doesn't come
When a man is a liar when all's said and done
And your dream turns to dust in the hot Georgia sun
Keep your eyes on the prize and your hand on your gun
When they leave you behind 'cause they think they have won
Keep your sight on the ocean and long may you run
And they come to your home to take all that you've won
Keep your eyes on the prize and your hand on your gun
