Lyrics of 'After All' by Rebecca Sugar

What would a mother not do for her child
What lengths would a mother not go
There's a bond that exists between mother and child
With no end to how strong it can grow
It's a promise for life between mother and child
It begins from the moment of birth

And you're shaken to your soul
With an ache you've never know
And you look into their eyes and find you're looking in your own

And there's a pain you can't imagine
A special kind of torture you can feel
A cut that bleeds from somewhere deep inside you
A past regret you can not heal
And no one guesses all the while you're praying
The screaming little stranger in your arms
Might just grow up and save you after all

What would a mother not do for her child
What heights would a mother not climb
There's a bond that exists between mother and child
And it only goes deeper with time
It's a promise for life between mother and child
And to break it there's no greater pain

And you're shaken to your soul
With an ache you can't erase
Like the tears you never cried but still keep scrubbing off your face
'Cause there's a pain you can't imagine
A little talk that keeps you wide awake
That somehow turns to bold determination
That you'll never make the same mistake
And so you vow to feed you're little future
Assuring that her talent, poise, and charm
Might just grow up and save you after all
Might just grow up and save you after all

Some dreams die upon the vine
Some they never have a chance
Sweeter that the sweetest wine
That mine becomes
The queen of france

And there's relief you can't imagine
That fills every sinew, bone and nerve
To know that you can get out of this hellhole
And finally live the life that you deserve
And suddenly the past you knew would haunt you
And all of the regret you didn't show
Might just grow up and save you after all
Might just grow up and save you
Might just grow up and save you after all

What would a mother not do for her child
What lengths would a mother not go
There's a bond that exists between mother and child
Ah, but then again
How would you know?
