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
