| Mama she has taught me well |
| Told me when I was young |
| Son your life's an open book |
| Don't close it 'fore its 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 |

| Let m | y h | eart g | o |
| Let your son grow |
| Mama, let my heart go |

| Let th | is h | eart b | e st | ill |
| Yeah, 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 is said is done |
Ref.
| Never I ask of you, but never I gave |
| But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave | |
| (2x) |
| So let this heart be still |
| Mama, now I'm coming home |
| I'm not all you wished of me |
| A mother's love for her son |
| Unspoken, and maybe |
| Yeah, I took your love for granted |
| Not a thing you said to me |
| I need your arms to welcome me |
| But, a cold stone's all I see |
