Power House

[Verse 1]
You would wake up in the morning
Put your eye makeup on
And you'd make your way downstairs
And put your records on
You would play your music so loud
We'd be upstairs asleep
The music would empower you
To make you strong to get through the week

You would wear the music like armour
For the daily fight
And protect Beulah from prejudice
You would fight for her rights
You were no support to no one
And you never gave up
Even in those hard times
You showed us how music could give us love

[Chorus]
Oh mother
You're a powerhouse
Oh mother
You're a powerhouse
Oh mother
You're a powerhouse
Oh mother
You're a powerhouse

[Verse 2]
I watched how music moved you
It was a big part of your life
I knew music was my way out
A place to learn, understand my life
I wanna thank you mum for the gift you gave
I know you know what I'm talking about
You, me and Beulah
We've got our music and you're our powerhouse

[Chorus]
Oh mother
You're a powerhouse
Oh mother
You're a powerhouse
Oh mother
You're a powerhouse
Oh mother
You're a powerhouse
