Oh Mother

She was so young with such innocent eyes She always dreamt of a fairy tale 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 And she kept all of her pain locked away Oh mother, we're stronger For 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, 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 Sayin' over and over and over You deserve much more than this She was so sick of believin the lies And tryin 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 For 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, always pull through Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother All of your life you have spent Buying 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 For 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 Always pull through, yeah We always pull through, yeah I love you, mom
