Oh Mother

Oh, oh
Yeah

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 a 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
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 (Thank you)
For all that 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 (Yeah)

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've died
Fighting for the lives of her children, yeah

Oh mother, we're stronger
For 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 (Yeah, you got me)
Together, we always pull through (Yeah, I got you)
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 bring 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 (Woah)
Oh 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 (I thank you for all that you've done)
For all that you've done and still do
Together, we always pull through)
You got me, I got you (You got me, I got you)
Together, we always pull through

Always pull through, yeah
We always pull through, yeah
I love you, mom
