Oh Mother Lyrics

You remind me of my mother’s greatest fear Gave her life for my protection
Through the years, from my tears
Then you came along and tore it down
With your deception, you let me drown And all the tears my mother saved
hit me like a wave

Oh beware the woman scorned
She would move a mountain for me
Cross the driest desert for her child
Like a hurricane, her pain would rip the roots out from the ground

What you holding onto Mommas coming for you Keep your head up baby
I will hold you steady
And oh it hit me like a wave I have been betrayed

Baby I know he cut you bad
You can run away save what you had
Maybe there’s a world where you can let him stay Boys stay boys but men can change yeh
Keep the sunshine on your face
This is real life god knows love ain’t perfect
Mother I don’t know where to start
If I stay will he break my heart
Maybe there’s still time to explain
But I’m too tied up in my pain now
Start to sweat, it’s hard to breathe
I cry for help could you get here any faster, any faster Sing for me

What you holding onto Mommas coming for you Keep your head up baby
I will hold you steadyWhat you holding onto Mommas coming for you Keep your head up baby
I will hold you steady
And oh it hit me like a wave I have been betrayed

I need your protection x2
(You have my protection x2)
Come on give me your protection (You have my protection)
I need your protection
(You have my protection)
You you
