Oh mother -- Christina Aguilera


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

(**) 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 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 So tired of defending her life, she
could have died  Fighting for the lives of her children

(**)

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

(**) 

This song salutes the courage of Aguilera's mother, who when Christina was 8 years old divorced her Army sergeant husband after years of alleged physical and emotional abuse. According to the lyric, "It was the day he turned on the kids that she knew she had to leave him."  (songfacts)
