Legend
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 you
We 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 you
That'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 survived
When 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 you
We 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 you
That'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 survived
I 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 through
That is what we have, you are why I am
We both know what we have been through
You gave your youth
You had two children and you were just a kid yourself
You cared for us and we relied on you
We 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 you
That'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 survived
When 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 you
We 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 you
That'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 survived
I 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 through
That is what we have, you are why I am
We both know what we have been through
You gave your youth
