Lirik Lagu “Mama Said” – Metallica
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”
That’s what I heard her say
A son’s heart’s owed 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
“Rebel, ” my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
I 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
Yeah, I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me, 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
