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
