Eye Of The Needle
Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Survivor (Eye of the Tiger)
Growing up, out on the street
Growing up, out on the street
I got by, takin’ handouts
I got by, takin’ handouts
Someone helped me to get back on my feet
Someone helped me to get back on my feet
Just a man, who took note, of my strife
Just a man, who took note, of my strife
It’s all a blur, it happened so fast
It’s all a blur, it happened so fast
But it changed my life story
But it changed my life story
Instead of usual things that don’t last
Instead of usual things that don’t last
This guy gave me a purpose for life
This guy gave me a purpose for life
And the, eye of the needle
And the, eye of the needle
Is an old metaphor
Is an old metaphor
About rich men not getting into heaven
About rich men not getting into heaven
When the, guy who I mentioned
When the, guy who I mentioned
Took the time to help me
Took the time to help me
Well his camel passed right through the eye, of the needle
Well his camel passed right through the eye, of the needle
Live it up, that’s what she did
Live it up, that’s what she did
Cause she had lots of money
Cause she had lots of money
All the finest, things that she could possess
All the finest, things that she could possess
Brought her pleasure, enjoyment and fun
Brought her pleasure, enjoyment and fun
And the, eye of the needle
And the, eye of the needle
Well you’ll know what I mean
Well you’ll know what I mean
when I say that it just might apply here
when I say that it just might apply here
Cause she got her reward, and we all won’t be surprised
Cause she got her reward, and we all won’t be surprised
If her camel gets stuck in the eye, of the needle
If her camel gets stuck in the eye, of the needle
Face to face, someday we’ll meet
Face to face, someday we’ll meet
Yes, I mean with our maker
Yes, I mean with our maker
On that day, when we kneel at His feet
On that day, when we kneel at His feet
Will it matter how much “stuff” we owned?
Will it matter how much “stuff” we owned?
And the, eye of the needle
And the, eye of the needle
Yes that old metaphor
Yes that old metaphor
Could mean us, it depends on the treasures
Could mean us, it depends on the treasures
That we, laid up in store and if we helped out the poor
That we, laid up in store and if we helped out the poor
So our camels could pass through the eye, of the needle
So our camels could pass through the eye, of the needle
The eye of the needle
The eye of the needle
The eye of the needle
The eye of the needle
The eye of the needle
The eye of the needle
The eye of the needle
The eye of the needle
