lyrics

I want peace for all the world, but I can't get there from here.
I need love from a beautiful girl, but I can't get there from here.
I've given everything I ever had, ever since I was just a little lad,
And though I always fail, and sometimes get mad,
I won't turn the good boy bad.

(Chorus)
Eyes on the prize. I can almost see it; it's near.
No big surprise. I just can't get there from here.

You want peace and love like me, but you can't get there from here.
We need everyone to feel free, but we can't get there from here.
It shouldn't be too much to ask,
With everybody working on the very same task,
So please don't hide yourself behind a mask, or drown in a spirit flask.

(Chorus)
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)

(Bridge)
The door is locked, and the window is barred,
A barbed-wire fence built around your yard,
Keeping you safe, but making exploring hard.
The road is blocked, and there's no u-turn,
The ferry is sunk, and the bridge is burned,
Flights are cancelled, but I am not concerned.

Eyes on the prize. I can almost see it; it's near.
No big surprise. I just can't get there from here.
Eyes on the prize. I can almost see it; it's near.
No big surprise – I believe I'll get there from here.
