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 its done

The brightest flame burns quickest
Is what I heard her say
A son's heart sewed 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 is 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
A mother's love for her son
Spoken, help me be

Well, 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
