First verse

I used to be lonely till I learned about livin alone
I found other things to keep my mind on
And I'm gettin to know myself a little bit better
Whoa, keep pushin on, keep pushin on yeah

Second verse
Goin through all the changes I made so many mistakes
Oh yes I did, tryin to leave behind the heartache
Sometimes I think I was a little bit crazy
Whoa yeah, whoa keep pushin on.

Third verse
Well it's comin together, I finally feel like a man
Oh yes I do, I never thought that I'd be where I am
Everyday I wake a little bit higher (fill 1)
Whoa I keep pushin on

Chorus
Keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin on
Keep pushin, keep pushin, (you know that I've got to be so strong)
Keep pushin, keep pushin, (even if you think you're strength is gone)
Keep pushin on

I know this isn't exact but I hope it helps! Enjoy!!!!

Its about staying positive, even when you feel weak . Kevin has written quite a few songs with this theme ("Blazing your own Trail Again", "Live Every Moment").
