Oh Mother

Oh-oh, yeah
 ♪
 She was so young with such innocent eyes
 She always dreamt of a fairytale life
 And all the things 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 (Thank you)
 For all you've done and still do (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 (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 (All of the tears you have shed)
 Oh mother, don't look back (Yeah)
 Cause he'll never hurt us again (He'll never hurt us again)
 So mother, I thank you (Thank you)
 For all that you've done and still do (Still do)
 You got me, I got you, (Cause you got me and I got you)
 Together, we always pull through
 Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother (Yeah, yeah)
 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 (Whoa)
 Oh mother, don't look back again
 'Cause he'll never hurt us again
 So mother, I thank you (Thank you for all that you've done)
 For all that you've done and still do
 You got me, I got you
 Together, we always pull through
 Always pull through, yeah
 We always pull through
 Yeah
 I love you, mom
