(written by Curtis Mayfield) 

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' 

Chorus: 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Keep on pushin' 

Verse 2: 

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' 

Verse 3: 

Now look-a look (look-a look) 

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' 

[repeat chorus] 

Coda [repeat to fade]: 

Keep on pushin'
