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 found a future in this like
I started pushin', pushin'
pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin'
pushin' forward back
I was pusin', pushin'
pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin'
pushin' forward back
Baby brother clinging to her hair
Gracious mother bleeding out
another soul to bear. He started pushin'
All my kings have fallen down
I started pushin'
Fallen mirrors paved the ground
Falling down. I know,
I know I'll never drown, drown, drown
Falling down. I know,
I know I'll never drown, drown, drown
Oh, I was pushin'
