Keep on pushing


I've got to keep on pushing (mmm-hmm)

I can't stop now

Move up a little higher

Some way, somehow

'Cause I've got my strength

And it don't make sense

Not to keep on pushin'


Hey, Hallelujah, hallelujah -Alliteration

Keep on pushin'


Now maybe some day

I'll reach that higher goal

I know that I can make it

With just a little bit of soul

'Cause I've got my strength

And it don't make sense

Not to keep on pushin


'Now look-a look (look-a look) -Alliteration

A-look-a yonder

What's that I see

A great big stone wall

Stands there ahead of me

But I've got my pride

And I'll move on aside

And keep on pushin'


Hey, Hallelujah, hallelujah -Alliteration

Keep on pushin'


Keep on pushin'
What I say, yeah
Keep on pushin’
Well, that’s alright
