Story Behind The Song

When you've had 11 surgeries, 4 mos of chemo and numerous hospitalizations in a short period of time, you get tired of people asking you the same question: How Are You. The easiest thing to do is say "I'm Fine" and just push through the pain

Song Description

It's sometimes easier to say "I'm Fine" when you are asked how you are. Most of the time, that's a small talk question and nobody really wants to know the answer. When we, humans, struggle with things like physical pain, financial stress, emotional issues, doubts in faith, it makes things hard. But we have to push through, carry on, in order to live.

Lyrics

Push
(music & lyrics written by Carolyn J Messina)


Circle me God with your warm embrace. Bring a glimmer of hope a moment of grace
Cause I can't do this on my own
Please circle me God, let me rest within. Keep the bitterness out, cause you know where I been
And the darkness, this darkness won't leave me alone

So I push through the pain. Laugh when it hurts too much to cry
Breathe in a moment, breathe out a prayer, and try to get by
Just push through the pain. Tell a white lie
You ask how I feel, it's no big deal, I just tell you I'm fine. I'm fine

So I'm down on my knees , cause I just can't stand. I look to the sky, reach out for your hand
I wish my faith would carry me through
So I close my eyes, listen for your voice. But all I can hear is this deafening noise
And now I don't know what to do

So I push through the pain. Laugh when it hurts too much to cry
Breathe in a moment, breathe out a prayer, and try to get by
Just push through the pain. Tell a white lie
you ask how I feel, it's no big deal, I just tell you I'm fine.
I'm Fine. Tell em I'm fine. I'm Fine,

Sometimes I feel like You're furthest away when I need you
Sometimes I think that it's me walking out on You

So I push through the pain. Laugh when it hurts too much to cry
Breathe in a moment, breathe out a prayer, and try to get by
Just push through the pain. Tell a white lie
you ask how I feel, it's no big deal, I just tell you I'm fine.

Just I push through the pain. Laugh when it hurts too much to cry
Breathe in a moment, breathe out a prayer, and try to get by
Just push through the pain. Tell a white lie
you ask how I feel, it's no big deal, I just tell you I'm fine.

Just push through the pain
Laugh when it hurts too much to cry
Breathe in a moment, breathe out a prayer, and tell you I'm fine...
I'm fine.
