Whoa, yeah
She was so young with such innocent eyes
She always dreamt of a fairytale 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
She kept all of her pain locked away
Oh Mother, we're stronger
From 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
We 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
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
So tired of defending her life, she could have died
Fighting for the lives of her children
Oh Mother, we're stronger
From 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
Oh Mother, oh Mother, oh Mother
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!
Oh Mother, we're stronger
From 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, yeah
We always pull through, yeah
It's not the way you struggle when I kiss you
And it's not the way you taught me to be thughtless
It's just your life is as cold as ice
And nothing can console you
You have to pay the price
lt's not the way you wake me in the moming
And it's not the way you wanted me to prosper
It's just your life is as cold as ice
And nothing can console you
You have to pay the price
The price is high
Oh Oh Mother
The price is high
Oh Oh Mother
It's not the way you lived with your frustration
And it's not the way you smiled at my achievements
It's just your life is as cold as ice
And nothing can console you
You have to pay the price
45 45 Do you remember?
45 45 Do you remember?
lt's not the way you tear yourself to pieces
And it's not the way you're always understanding
It's just your life is as coId as ice
And nothing can console you
You have to pay the price
