Verse1:        
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 brighest flame goes quickest,"
That? s what I heard her say.
The son? s heart owned 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.

Intro.

Verse2:        
Rebel, my new last name,
Wild blood in my veins
Draping the strings aroound my neck,
The mark that still remains
I left home at an early age,
Of what I heard was wrong,
I never asked forgiveness
For what was sad and done...

Chorus.

Bridge:        
Never Iasked of you,
But never I gave,
But you gave me your emtyness
That I? ll take to my grave, (these 4 lines repeat 2 times)
So let this heart be still.

Verse3:        
Mama, now I? m coming home,
I? m not all you wished to me,
But mother? s love for her son
Was spoken, help me be
And I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me,
I need your armes to welkome me,
But cold stone? s all I see...

Chorus.

Bridge2:    
Let my heart go,
Mama, let my heart go
You never let my heart go,
Or let this heart be still.
