Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mother, mother found me on her step

Gracious mother held me to her breast

Until the day I started pushin'

Too late to cry, she turned away, I started pushin'

I saw no future in this lack, I started pushin'

[Verse 2]

Pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

[Verse 3]

Baby brother clinging to her hair

Gracious mother pleading

Not another soul to bare, he started pushin'

All my kings have fallen down, I started pushin'

Fallen heroes feed the ground, I started pushin'

[Verse 4]

Pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

[Verse 5]

Fallin' down, now I know her

I know I'll never drown, drown, drown

Fallin' down, now I know her

I know I'll never drown, drown, drown

Oh, I was pushin'

[Verse 6]

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

[Verse 7]

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
