Mama Said (Edit) lyrics

[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 'fore 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

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

[Verse 2]
"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
