Oh Mama...
How did you get through all the drama
That was brought into your life
Before you we're even a mother or a wife
Oh Mama...
How did you manage to handle the pain
No one could've made it through all that
Without going insane
Oh Mama...
How did you carry us on your back
As bomb carriers filled the sky
Shielding us from disaster
As the innocent ones die
Oh Mama...
How did you manage to survive all them wars
All those children that died
Five of them yours
Oh Mama...
How did you leave your life behind
To start over in a new country
Away from your own kind
Oh Mama...
How did you keep love in your heart
When life was at its worst
And regardless of what happened
You always put us first
Oh Mama...
How did you get past the ignorant ones
The ones who were blind to your scars
The ones who couldn't see
That you've made it so far
Oh Mama...*
How will I ever repay you
It would take nine lifetimes
To simply say "Thank You".

Thank You isn't even enough for all that you have sacrificed for us. For your family. I love you Mama.
