Eye Of The Needle

Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Survivor (Eye of the Tiger)

Growing up, out on the street

I got by, takin’ handouts

Someone helped me to get back on my feet

Just a man, who took note, of my strife


It’s all a blur, it happened so fast 

But it changed my life story

Instead of usual things that don’t last

This guy gave me a purpose for life


And the, eye of the needle

Is an old metaphor

About rich men not getting into heaven

When the, guy who I mentioned 

Took the time to help me

Well his camel passed right through the eye, of the needle


Live it up, that’s what she did

Cause she had lots of money

All the finest, things that she could possess

Brought her pleasure, enjoyment and fun


And the, eye of the needle

Well you’ll know what I mean

when I say that it just might apply here

Cause she got her reward, and we all won’t be surprised 

If her camel gets stuck in the eye, of the needle


Face to face, someday we’ll meet

Yes, I mean with our maker

On that day, when we kneel at His feet

Will it matter how much “stuff” we owned?


And the, eye of the needle

Yes that old metaphor 

Could mean us, it depends on the treasures

That we, laid up in store and if we helped out the poor

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
