This has been in the back of my mind for some time.
Back when I posted Musicology III, Jason over at Quiet Water asked me this in the comments section:
"Right, but which one would be your MAIN theme song in the movie of your life? See, that's the question everyone should answer."
He was so right. It took some time, but I figured it out.
This would be the main theme song of my life.
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
I keep pushin' on
Goin' through all the changes I made so many mistakes, oh yes I did
Tryin to leave behind the heartaches
And sometimes I think I was a little bit crazy, oh yeah
I keep pushin' on
Keep pushin', keep pushin' on
Keep pushin', you know you have got to be so strong
Keep pushin', even if you think your strength is gone
Keep pushin' on
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
I keep pushin' on, oh yeah

The best version of this song is on the 1977 album Live: You Get What You Play For.
