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 Or 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 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 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.
