lyrics

These are the days
and these are the nights
these are the ones
they warned us about
all our lives.

Day in, Day out
All goes according to plan.
whatever you get
is never more than
you can stand

you get a rock
and you push it hard
to get a start
you push it hard

You keep pushing
you keep pushing
you keep pushing
with all your will
you keep pushing
you keep pushing
you keep pushing
rocks up a hill
and when they fall back down
you can smile.

Once upon a time
in myths we're told
of a man condemned
to push a rolling stone

He loved life
and bound death in chains
though he was wise
it was all in vain.

He got a rock
and he pushed it hard
to get to the top
he pushed it hard

You keep pushing
you keep pushing
you keep pushing
with all your will
you keep pushing
you keep pushing
you keep pushing
rocks up a hill
and when they fall back down
you can smile.


You can say it doesn't matter
you can say it' will never end
you say it's meaningless
that it's absurd my friend
I only listen, I only listen
for you until
you say, climber
c’mon, climber
that's no hill.


Scorned by the gods
and scorned by fate
can you dig it, baby
can you relate?

It's tragic and funny
And the minute you know
sometimes you see
and sometimes…you don't

You got a rock
and you push it hard

You keep pushing
you keep pushing
you keep pushing
with all your will
you keep pushing
you keep pushing
you keep pushing
rocks up a hill
and when they fall back down
you can smile.

We get a rock
what are you gonna do
when you get to the top?
will you push that rock
with all you got?
