You brought us up although you were forced to
You had two children and you were just a kid yourself
You cared for us and we relied on youWe used to cry and that was your burden
We had to eat and you had to provide
We were just ten and we weren't much younger than youThat's what we have
That is why I know you're the reason we all survived
That's what we have
That is why I know you're the reason we all survivedWhen we were young and you were our mother
We grew up fast 'cause that's how we had to
As I got older I knew I owed it all to youWe used to cry and that was your burden
We had to eat and you had to provide
We were just ten and we weren't much younger than youThat's what we have
That is why I know you're the reason we all survived
That's what we have
That is why I know you're the reason that we all survivedI owe my youth to you, I owe my youth to you
We both know what we have been through
You gave your youth just so you could get us throughThat is what we have, you are why I am
We both know what we have been through
You gave your youth
