Mama ("Mama Said" Take 15)

[Instrumental Intro]

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

...is done

[Chorus]

Let 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

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

[Verse 3]

Mama, now I'm coming home

I'm not all you wished of me

A mother's love for her son

Unspoken, help me be

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

[Chorus]

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 heart go

Let your son grow

Or let this heart be still

[Outro]

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
