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 brigtest flame burns quickest
Is what I heard they say
A son's heart's owned to mother
But I must find my way

     Let my heart go
     Let your son grow
     Mama let your heart go
     Or let this heart be 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 heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what I said is done

     Let my heart go
     Let your son grow
     Mama let your heart go
     Or let this heart be still

     Never I ask 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

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
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 your heart go
     Or let this heart be still

Let my heart go
Mama let my heart go
You never let me heart go
So let this heart be still

     Never I ask 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
