Mama Said

    Mama she has taught me well
    Told me when I was young
    Son, your life's an open book
    Don't close it fore it's done

    The brightest flame burns quickest
    That's what I heard her say
    A son's heart's owned to mother
    But I must find my way

     Let my heart go
     Let your son grow
     Mama let my heart go
     Or let this heart be still

    Rebel my new last name
    Wild blood in my veins
    Apron strings around my neck
    The mark that still remains

    Left home at an early age
    Of what I heard was wrong
    I never asked forgiveness
    But what I said is done

     Let my heart go
     Let your son grow
     Mama let my heart go
     Or let this heart be still

      Never I ask of you
      But never I gave
      But you gave me your emptiness
      I now take to my grave

      Never I ask of you
      But never I gave
      But you gave me your emptiness
      I now take to my grave

      So let this heart be still

    Mama now I'm coming home
    I'm not all you wished of me
    But a mother's love for her son
    Unspoken, help me be

    I took your love for granted
    And all the things you said to me
    I need your arms to welcome me
    But a cold stone's all I see

     Let my heart go
     Let your son grow
     Mama let my heart go
     Or let this heart be still

     Let my heart go
     Mama let my heart go
     You never let my heart go
     So let this heart be still

      Never I ask of you
      But never I gave
      But you gave me your emptiness
      I now take to my grave

      Never I ask of you
      But never I gave
      But you gave me your emptiness
      I now take to my grave

      So let this heart be still
