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
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
Yes, 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've heard
is 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
And I'll take it to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me
your emptiness
And I'll take it 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
Unspoken, help me be
Yeah, I took your
love for granted
And all the things
you said to me
I need your arms
to welcome me
But a tomb 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
Let my son grow
Mama, let my heart grow
Or let this heart be still
Ohh ohhh
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me
your emptiness
And I take it to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me
your emptiness
And I take it to my grave
So let
this heart
be still
