I`m Ok - Christina Aguilera
Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years
she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war
that she called home
Never knew just
where to turn for shelter
from the storm
It hurt me to see the pain
across my mother's face
Every time my father's fist would
put her in her place
Hearing all the yelling
I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon
Bruises fade father
but the pain remains the same
And I still remember
how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother
for all the love she gave
And every morning that
I wake
I look back at yesterday
And I'm OK

I often wonder why
I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me
put up all these walls I've built
Shadows stir at night
through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken
child screaming please no more
Daddy don't you understand the
damage you have done
For you it's just a memory
but for me it still lives on
Bruises fade father
but the pain remains the same
And I still remember
how you kept me so so afraid
Strength is my mother
for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake
I look back at yesterday

It's not so easy to forget
All the marks you left
along her neck
When I was thrown against
cold stairs
And everyday afraid to come home
In fear of what I might see next
Bruises fade father
but the pain remains the same
And I still remember
how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother
for all the love you gave
And every morning that I wake
I look back at yesterday
And I'm OK

I'm OK
