Thinkin' back on my younger years
When it was fairy tales and childhood schemes
I remember watching my daddy play
He was the hero of all my dreams
I said Daddy wanna be in a working band
Daddy wanna be the best I can'
And 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

Na, all my dreams of yesterday
Are coming back through the eyes of my son
Sit back and I watch him play
Realize that his life's just begun
When he said, "Daddy wanna be in a working band
Daddy wanna be the best I can"
I 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

Thinkin' back on my younger years
When it was fairy tales and childhood schemes
I remember watching my daddy play
He was the hero of all my dreams
I said, "Daddy wanna be in a working band
Daddy wanna be the best I can"

Keep your eye on the prize
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 shinin'
One day you'll find there's a light
And it's shinin'
One day you'll find there's a light
And it shines for you for you

[Repeat: x2]
The light shines
It shines for you
