Mama Said Lyrics

Mama, she taught me well
Told me when I was young
Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it 'fore it's 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 way

      Let my heart go
      Let your son grow
      Mama, let my heart go
      Or let this heart be still
      Yeah, still

"Rebel", my new 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
      Or 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 need your arms to welcome me
But 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
