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
