Mama ("Mama Said" Vocal Idea)

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go Or let this heart be still [Verse 2] Rebel, my new last name Wild blood in my veins Apron strings around my neck The mark that still remains I left home at an early age Of what I heard was wrong I never askеd forgiveness But what is said is done [Chorus] Lеt my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go Or let this heart be still [Bridge] Never I ask of you, but never I gave But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave So let my 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 my heart be still [Verse 3] Mama, now I'm coming home I'm not all you wished of me A mother's love for her son Unspoken, helps me be I took your love for granted All these things you said to me I need your arms to welcome me But a cold stone's all I see [Chorus] Let my heart go Mama, let your son grow Never let my heart go Or let my heart be still Let my heart go Mama, let my heart go You never let my heart go So let my heart be still
