Mama Said Lyrics

Mama Said

Mama, 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 done
The brightest flame burns quickest
Is what I heard her say
A son's heart's owned to mother
But I must find my way

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

Remember my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Draping the strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at and early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
For what I said is done

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

Never I asked 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
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

Mama now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
But a mother's love for her son
Was spoken heavily(?)
I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let your heart go
Or let his heart be still

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let your heart go
Or let his heart be still

Let my hear go
Mama let my heart go
