Oh mother
She was so young with such innocent eyesShe always dreamt of a fairytale lifeAnd all the things that your money can't buyShe thought that he was a wonderful guyThen suddenly, things seemed to changeIt was the moment she took on his nameHe took his anger out on her faceShe kept all of her pain locked away
Oh mother, we're strongerFrom all of the tears you have shedOh mother, don't look backCause he'll never hurt us again
So mother, I thank youFor all that you've done and still doYou got me, I got youTogether we always pull throughWe always pull throughWe always pull throughOh mother, oh mother, oh mother
It was the day that he turned on his kidsThat she knew she just had to leave himSo many voices inside of her headSaying over and over and over,"You deserve much more than this."
She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hideCovering the cuts and bruises (cuts and bruises)So tired of defending her life, she could have diedFighting for the lives of her children
Oh mother, we're strongerFrom all of the tears you have shed (all of the tears you have shed)Oh mother, don't look backCause 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, (yeah you got me and I got you)Together we always pull through.We always pull throughWe always pull throughOh mother, oh mother, oh mother
All of your life you have spentBurying hurt and regretBut mama, he'll never touch us again
For everytime he tried to break you downJust remember who's still aroundIt's over, and we're strongerAnd we'll never have to go back again
Oh mother, we're strongerFrom all of the tears you have shedOh mother, don't look back (oh mother don't look back again)Cause he'll never hurt us again (cause he'll never hurt us again)
So mother, I thank you (and I thank you for everything you've done)For all that you've done and still do (together we always move on)You got me, I got you, (you got me, I got you)Together we always pull through (always pull through)We always pull throughWe always pull through
