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"
That's what I heard her say
A son's heart's owed to mother
But I must find my wayLet my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still
Yeah, stillRebel, my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neckThe 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 doneLet my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be stillNever I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
So let this heart be stillMama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
A mother's love for her son
Unspoken, and maybe
Yeah, 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 seeLet 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 goYou never let my heart go
So let this heart be stillNever I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my graveSo let this heart be still
