  • 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', 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

    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

    Ah, 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
    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 Writer/s: Christopher J. Cornell, Jeffrey Allen Ament, Stone C. Gossard
