Mama Said

Intro

 

 

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 sewed 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

 

 

Rebel my new last name

Wild blood in my veins

m Dsus4 D

Apron strings around my neck

The mark that still remains

Of what I heard was wrong

m Dsus4 D

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

I now 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

 

 

I'm not all you wished of me

A mother's love for her son

Spoken, help me be

Well, 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 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

I now 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
