WELL, HERE’S A SONG WE ALL CAN SING
LET’S START THIS STORY WITH RODNEY KING
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE, HOLD ON
I WATCHED THEM BEAT HIM ON T.V.
THEN SIMI VALLEY SET THEM FREE
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE, HOLD ON
HOLD ON -- HOLD ON -- KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE, HOLD ON
THEN JOHNNY GAMMAGE DIES IN VAIN
AS KILLER COPS HIT THE STREETS AGAIN
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE, HOLD ON
OUR HOPE CRUSHED AGAIN IN ALBANY
AS DIALLO’S KILLERS WALK OUT FREE
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE, HOLD ON
HOLD ON – HOLD ON – KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE, HOLD ON
THESE VERDICTS FILL MY HEART WITH PAIN
BUT STILL I SING THE SAME REFRAIN
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE, HOLD ON
A CRY FOR JUSTICE FILLS THE AIR
BUT THIS IS NO TIME FOR DESPAIR
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE, HOLD ON
HOLD ON -- HOLD ON -- KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE, HOLD ON
WE'VE GOT TO REBUILD AMERICA, KEEP HOPE ALIVE
WE'VE GOT TO REBUILD AMERICA, KEEP HOPE ALIVE
WE'VE GOT TO REBUILD AMERICA, EYES ON THE PRIZE
THAT DREAM WE ARE BUILDING NEVER DIES
YOU CAN'T MURDER JUSTICE, NO, NO, NO
YOU DON'T BURY FREEDOM, NO YOU DON'T
WE CAN SEE A FUTURE WHERE OUR CHILDREN SHARE THE EARTH
AND YOU WON'T TAKE THAT FROM US, NO YOU WON'T
WE'VE GOT TO REBUILD AMERICA, KEEP HOPE ALIVE
WE'VE GOT TO REBUILD AMERICA, KEEP HOPE ALIVE
WE'VE GOT TO REBUILD AMERICA, EYES ON THE PRIZE
THAT DREAM WE ARE BUILDING NEVER DIES
END RACIAL PROFILING -- VIOLENCE MUST CEASE
WHEN WILL THEY LEARN IT? NO JUSTICE! NO PEACE!
WE'VE GOTTA EDUCATE CHILDREN, NOT PUT THEM IN JAIL
BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY WE MUST PREVAIL
OUR CITIES ARE CRUMBLIN'; OUR SCHOOLS A DISGRACE
WE’RE BUILDING JAILS & PUTTING WEAPONS IN SPACE
WE'VE GOT TO REBUILD AMERICA, KEEP HOPE ALIVE
WE'VE GOT TO REBUILD AMERICA, KEEP HOPE ALIVE
WE'VE GOT TO REBUILD AMERICA, EYES ON THE PRIZE
THAT DREAM WE ARE BUILDING NEVER DIES
DON'T SIT AT HOME THINKIN' WHAT CAN I DO?
REMEMBER THAT UNITY STARTS WITH YOU
IS DEMOCRACY DEAD? ONLY TIME’S GONNA TELL
GET YOUR FEET IN THE STREET NOW, START RAISIN’ SOME HELL!
YES, SISTERS AND BROTHERS, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE
CAUSE WE'RE BUILDING A DREAM, AND THE DREAM NEVER DIES
WE'RE GONNA REBUILD AMERICA, KEEP HOPE ALIVE
WE'VE GOT TO REBUILD AMERICA, KEEP HOPE ALIVE
WE'VE GOT TO REBUILD AMERICA, EYES ON THE PRIZE
THAT DREAM WE ARE BUILDING NEVER DIES
