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'

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

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'

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

Falling down, now I know her
I know, I'll never drown, drown, drown
Falling down, now I know her
I know I'll never drown, drown, drown
I, I was pushin'

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
