Pushin' Forward Back

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' forward backBaby 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' forward backFalling down, now I know her

I know I'll never drownI was pushin' forward back
