Oh Mother
(C. Aguilera/ Derryck Thornton/ Mark Rankin/ Liz Thornton/ Kara DioGuardi/ Bruno Colats/ Christophe Barratier)

She was so young with such innocent eyes
She always dreamt of 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`ve 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
(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 defendin` her life
She could have died
Fightin` for the lives of her children

Oh mother, we`re stronger
For all of the tears you`ve 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`ve spent
Buryin` hurt and regret
But mama
He`ll never touches us again
For every time he tried to break you down
Just remeber 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`ve shed
Oh mother, don`t look back again
Cause he`ll never hurt us again
(and I thank you for all that you`ve done)
So mother I thank you
For all that you`ve done and still do
(togheter we always move on)
You got me, I got you
Together we always pull through
always pull through, we always pull through

I love you mom
