Lyrics

She gets home from the factory
Tired eyes and weary head
Cooks the dinner
Does the washing and then
Before she goes to bed

She sits with me to do my homework
She doesn't understand
Says she knows that I can do this
And then she reaches for my hand

Tells me son when you're older
Raising your own family
Teach them all the things that I've taught you
Cause in them you remember me

My mother is a Warrior
A fighter
Fighting for her family
She stands with me
I am unbreakable
To stand up tall
She is the strongest part of me

Thank you Mama
For fighting for me all my life
For all your tears and sacrifice
For every little thing you do
You are the strongest part of me

She wakes up on a Sunday morning
Dresses in her very best
Goes to church and says her prayers
Hugs her Bible to her chest

And when she's tired
Time for resting
We gather close to hear her say
Stories of when she was younger
In her homeland far away
She left her home and her family
Packed her bags and crossed the sea
Sacrificed the world she knew
To build a better life for me

My mother is a Warrior
A fighter
Fighting for her family
She stands with me
I am unbreakable
To stand up tall
She is the strongest part of me

Thank you Mama
For fighting for me all your life
For all your tears and sacrifice
You are the strongest part of me

For fighting for me all your life
For all your tears and sacrifice
You are the strongest part of me

Oh mama we thank you

Fakaaue lahi
Fakamālō atu
Meitaki ma'ata
Fa'afetai tele lava

Oh mama, we thank you.
