Mama Said Lyrics

    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
    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
    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
    And all the things you said to me
    I need your arms to welcome me
    But, cold stone 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
