Strength Video (MV)

I need to get my thoughts on paper
Need to get them written down
If there's a chance to discover
How to turn my life around

You know I used to be so lonely
You know I used to live in fear
As I sat up in my bedroom
So scared of what I'd hear

You were screaming and fighting
As he threw his weight around
While I sat upstairs crying
Trying not to make a sound

Then you'd come up to the bedroom
To check if I was alright
But I pretended to be sleeping
So you turned out the light

No one's ever told you
What a strong woman you've been
So Mum I wrote this for you
So you know what you mean to me
Through all the hurt and all the pain
You kept on ploughing through
I'm as proud as I could ever be
To have a mum like you

The scars and wounds he left you
May have faded overtime
But I never thought to ask you
If you were truly alright

Guess I was scared to know the answer
Scared it would come flooding back
But I know now that strength has helped you
Get life back on track

We may not have had it easy
Yeah we've had our ups and downs
But every time you got knocked back
You got back off the ground

No one's ever told you
What a strong woman you've been
So Mum I wrote this for you
So you know what you mean to me
Through all the hurt and all the pain
You kept on ploughing through
I'm as proud as I could ever be
To have a Mum like you

Yeah I'm as proud as I could ever be
To have a Mum like you
