Our fathers have passed

Our fathers have left

Our mothers have tried

Our mothers stood tall

Now the world says we should be ashamed

O no, that I will not do

I will not feel shame about the one that raised me, raised me against all odds

O no I am not sorry, I am not ashamed I was raised by a single mother

Our fathers have failed

Our fathers are gone

Our mothers have tried

Our mothers have stood tall
