Lyrics Eye On the Prize - Joe Cocker

Thinkin' back on my younger years,
When it was fairy tales and childhood schemes
I remember watching my father play
He was the hero of all my dreams

I said daddy: I wanna be in a working band
Daddy, I wanna be the best I can
He said: Keep your eye on the prize, keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light and it shines for you

All my dreams of yesterday
Coming back through the eyes of my son
I sit back and I watch him play
Realise that live just begun

I said daddy: I wanna be in a working band
Daddy, I wanna be the best I can
He said: Keep your eye on the prize, keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light and it shines for you

So keep on moving
You gotta keep pushing with your feet on the ground
You can't turn around, nothing comes easy
Nobody's gonna help you
Keep your eye on the prize
Keep your eye on the prize
Keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light and it's shining
One day you'll find there's a light and it's shining
One day you'll find there's a light and it shines for you
