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
|
|
(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¡¯ 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
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
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
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
Always pull through, yeah
|
We always pull through, yeah
|
I love you, mom
|
|
