*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 before it's done

  The brightest flame burns quickest

  Thats what I heard her say

  The 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.



*Intro*



*Verse 2*

  Remember my new last name

  Wild blood in my veins

  Draping the strings around 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 is said is done....



*Chorus*



*Bridge*

  Never I asked of you 

  But never I gave

  But you gave me your emptiness 

  That I'll take to my grave

  Never I asked of you 

  But never I gave

  But you gave me your emptiness 

  That I'll 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

  Was spoken help me be

  Yeah I took your love for granted

  And all the things you said to me

  I need your arms to welcome me

  That cold stone's all I see.....



*Chorus*



*Bridge 2*

  Let my heart go

  Mama let my heart go

  You never let my heart go

  Mama let this heart be still.



*Solo*

  {over 'Dm G C F' x2}
