Whoa, oh, yeah,

She was so young with such innocent eyes

She always dreamt of a fairytale life

And all the things your money can't buy

She thought daddy 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 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 his 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 have died

Fighting for the lives of her children

Oh mother, we're stronger

From all of the tears you have shed (all of the tears you have shed)

Oh mother, don't look back

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 and 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 everytime 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 (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 (and I thank you for everything you've done)

For all that you've done and still do (together we always move on)

You got me, I got you, (you got me, I got you)

Together we always pull through (always pull through)

We always pull through, yeah

We always pull through, yeah

I love you
