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

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 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 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

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's 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 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

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