Mama Told Me

Lyrics

[Verse]
Mama told me shut your trap
Words like thunder cut the map
Silence echoed through the room
Left me growin in the gloom

[Chorus]
She said shut up don't you speak
Words are for the strong not weak
In that hush a fire was born
From her scorn my heart was torn

[Verse 2]
Years went by the echo stayed
In my mind her words replayed
Stronger grew my will to shout
To break free and let it out

[Chorus]
She said shut up don't you speak
Words are for the strong not weak
In that hush a fire was born
From her scorn my heart was torn

[Bridge]
Took her words and turned them round
Lift them up off the ground
Now my voice a mighty roar
Can't be silenced anymore

[Chorus]
She said shut up don't you speak
Words are for the strong not weak
In that hush a fire was born
From her scorn my heart was torn
