Mama Said...

These days I am working on some short films, (in fact vtr's) and I am using Mama Said as the score, this means that for the last 3 nights, between 23.00 - 04.00 I listen to this song really really a lot of times... And at the other times (that I am not listening the song) I whisper the song myself... (All the time... Everywhere...) So; here is the lyrics...

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
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 ask forgiveness
For 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
And now take to my grave
Never I ask you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
And 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, hear me be
Yeah 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 my heart go
So let this heart be still

Never I ask you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
And now take to my grave
Never I ask you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
And now take to my grave
So let this heart be still
