Verse 1:
Mother, she has taught me well
& as she told me when I was young
"Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it until it's done"
"Life is something to be cherished"
That's one thing I heard her say
The rain puts out the orchid flame
So much for the days

Chorus:
Let my heart go
Let our hearts grow
Let this time stay still
Another day of life

Verse 2:
My father, he was full of wisdom
& never did that change
The same way throughout his life
Always wrote his page
Shining a dream upon me
& smiling of truth all night
As soon as morning arose
& here we hold up tight

Chorus

Verse 3:
Never had I fought for you
But never I didn?t brave
But still I have those pictures that I taped to your grave
But still I have those pictures that I taped to your grave
Let this time stay still

Verse 4:
Rebel, my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
So hang me from that one string noose
All is true of what I say

Chorus
