Thread Name: ADD Versions: Eyes on the Prize / Hand on the Plow
Subject: RE: Req/Add: eyes on the prize / hand on the plow
"Keep Your Eyes On The Prize" {Hold On}is an open ended song to which additional verses can be added or substituted for the verses that are lsited above.
When I was a member of the youth group of the NAACP {National Association for the Advancement of Colored People} in Atlantic City, New Jersey {early 1960s}I remember singing:
Paul and Silas bound in jail with no money to forego their bail Keep your eyes on the prize and hold on.
I also remember this verse:
God sent Noah the rainbow sign Won't be water but fire next time Keep your eyee etc.
-snip-
I also remember these two verse:
One and one they make two tell you what I'm gonna do Keep your eyes etc.
-snip-
Here's another verse that I remember:
When I get to heaven Gonna sing and shout Ain't nobody gonna keep me out {or 'put me out'} Keep your eyes etc.
-snip-
Can anyone else remember or create any more verses for this song?
