The only thing that we did wrong
Was staying in the wilderness too long
Keep your eyes on the prize
Hold on, hold on.

The only thing that we did right
Was the day we begun to fight
Keep your eyes on the prize
Hold on, hold on.

We're gonna take 'em down with no shots fired,
Sit down at the table with our fist in it's glove,
And when the ask us what in all the world has just transpired,
We'll say "All we've got is love."

Yet she's only as rich as the poorest of her poor
Only as free as the padlocked prison door
Only as strong as our love for this land
Only as tall as we stand

Rosa sat so Martin could walk.

Martin walked so Barack could run.

Barack ran so our children can fly.

and when the papers all were signed
and a million copies made
they all joined hands and bowed their heads
and grateful prayers were prayed

Waffles for all.

I titled something with that back in March.

For more music, though, this was my immediate one.

I sang this onto my parents' answering machine on Tuesday.

"The only chain a man can stand is the chain of hand in hand. Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on, hold on."
