Mama Said

1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2Mama, 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 doneThe brightest flame burns quickest

Is what I heard her say

A son's heart's owned 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 neck

The mark that still remainsLeft 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 you

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my graveNever 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 stillMama, now I'm coming home

I'm not all you wished of me

But a mother's love for her son

Unspoken, help me beYeah, I took your love for granted

And all the things you said to me, yeah

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 stillLet my heart go

Mama, let my heart go

You never let my heart go

So let this heart be still, ohhNever I ask you

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my graveNever 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
