|
Whoa, yeah |
|
She was so young with such innocent eyes |
|
She always dreamt of a fairytale life |
|
And all the things that your money can't buy |
|
She thought that he was a wonderful guy |
|
Then suddenly things seemed to change |
|
It was the moment she took on his name |
|
He took his anger out on her face |
|
She kept all of her pain locked away |
|
Oh Mother, we're stronger |
|
From all of the tears you have shed |
|
Oh Mother, don't look back |
|
'Cause he'll never hurt us again |
|
So Mother, I thank you |
|
For all that you've done and still do |
|
You got me, I got you |
|
Together we always pull through |
|
We always pull through |
|
We always pull through |
|
Oh Mother, oh Mother, oh Mother |
|
It was the day that he turned on the kids |
|
That she knew she just had to leave him |
|
So many voices inside of her head |
|
Saying over and over and over |
|
"You deserve much more than this" |
|
She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide |
|
Covering the cuts and bruises |
|
So tired of defending her life, she could have died |
|
Fighting for the lives of her children |
|
Oh Mother, we're stronger |
|
From all of the tears you have shed |
|
Oh Mother, don't look back |
|
'Cause he'll never hurt us again |
|
So Mother, I thank you |
|
For all that you've done and still do |
|
You got me, I got you |
|
Together we always pull through |
|
Oh Mother, oh Mother, oh Mother |
|
All of your life you have spent |
|
Burying hurt and regret |
|
But mama |
|
He'll never touch us again |
|
For every time he tried to break you down |
|
Just remember who's still around |
|
It's over and we're stronger |
|
And we'll never have to go back again! |
|
Oh Mother, we're stronger |
|
From all of the tears you have shed |
|
Oh Mother, don't look back |
|
'Cause he'll never hurt us again |
|
So Mother, I thank you |
|
For all that you've done and still do |
|
You got me, I got you |
|
Together we always pull through |
|
We always pull through, yeah |
|
We always pull through, yeah |
|
I love you Mom |
