Mama Said lyrics

• Copyright: Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield

  ---

  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 brightest flame burns quickest"
  Is what I heard her 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 my heart go
  Or, let this heart be still (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 is said is done

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

  Never I ask of 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, yeah-yeah
  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 my 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 of 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
