Mama please don't go
Won't you stay here
For one more day
I've been your boy
For so long now
There's so much I
I still have to say
The sky rips open
And I held my heart
In my hand
Like a soldier
On his very last day
Cried myself to sleep
That night
And I listened
As I heard
The angels sing
Sha la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
I'm going home
Sha la la la
La la la la
I'm going home
Oh something
Inside of you
Makes me scream
Oh how can God
Take you from
A little boy
You'll be alright
He's by my side
He's not a little boy
He's my pride and joy
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
Take me home
Sha la la la la la
Take me home now
Summer on the radio
Then the phone rang
And it was Jeanette
Said boy we had to
Let her go
I begged
No no not yet
You have six of us
To fend for ourselves
Guess it's just
Part of someone's
Master plan
We'll see you laugh
'Cause you're
My best friend
You were lighter then
And I smiled
When the angels sing
Sha la la la la
No no no no no
Take me home
Sha la la la la
La la
Hear the angels sing
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la a la la
