Oh Mother

Oh Mother

She was so young with such innocent eyes

She always dreamt of a fairy tale life

And all the thangs that your money can't buy

She thought that he was a wonderful guy

Then suddently 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

Chorus:

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' th elies

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 childen

(Repeat Chorus)

All of you live 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

(Repeat Chorus)

Always pull through, yeah

We always pull through, yeah

I love you, mom
