Metallica Lyrics for Song: Mama Said
 Lyrics for Album: Load [1996]
 
 
 
 25240>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 owned to mother
 
 But I must find my way
 
 
 
 Let my heart go
 
 Let your son grow
 
 Mama, let my heart go
 
 Let this heart be still
 
 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 I said is done
 
 
 
 Let my heart go
 
 Let your son grow
 
 Mama, let my heart go
 
 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
 
 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
 
 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
