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 sowed to mother But I must find my way Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama let my heart go Let this heart be still Yeah still Rebel mind your last name Wild blood in my veins They bring 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 Let this heart be still Never 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 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 I took your love for granted Not a thing you said to me I needed 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 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 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 Let this heart be still
