Push

Push harder we can’t wait

We started, you came late

We’re martyred at the gate

Just a little more to go now, push

Push harder we can’t wait 

We started, you came late

We’re martyred at the gate

Just a little more to go now

Stretch our bodies across the expanse of the prison walls

Let them see us!

Collected our strength 

Put together our minds 

Did away with our fears 

Studied the teachers, 

Especially the ones who had been inside –

Dissected the lessons 

Weighed it against the times 

Adjusted as we saw fit 

Entertained new possibilities, 

Ever mindful of infiltration 

Noticed patterns in the ones who shared the concerns of the enemy 

Lost foes who were friends 

Recognized my own weaknesses 

Put thought into practice 

Collected new thoughts consulting with thinkers, read 

Adapted my speech 

Llstened to my heart 

Stuck to the principles 

Allowed all unlearning 

Connected the dots

Simplified the approach 

Never stopped pushing 

Never stopped loving 

Never stopped learning 

Never stopped caring 

Never stopped fighting 

Never stopped dancing 

Devised new equations 

New rhythms 

New plants 

New foundations 

Push

Push harder we can’t wait

We started, you came late

We’re martyred at the gate

Just a little more to go now, push

Push harder we can’t wait 

We started, you came late

We’re martyred at the gate

Just a little more to go now
