Mama, please don't go
Won't you stay here for one more day
I've been your boy for so long now
There's so much I, I still have to say
Sky rips open, and I held my heart in my hand
Like a soldier on his very last day
Cried myself to sleep that night
And I listened as I heard the angels sing
Sha la la, Sha la la la Sha la la la, I'm going home.
Sha la la la, la la la, I'm going home.
Oh, Something inside of me makes me scream
Oh, How could God take you from a little boy
He'll be alright he's by my side
He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy
Sha la la la la, Sha la la la, Sha la la la, I'm going home, Take me home
Sha la la la, Sha la la la, I'm going home, Playing with angels now
Summer on the radio, when the phone rang
And it was Jeanette
Saying boy we had to let her go
I beg, no, no not yet
You left six of us to fend for ourselves
Guess it's just part of someone's master plan
We'll say you left cause you're my best friend
You were lighter then, and I smiled when
The angels sing
Sha la la la la, Sha la la la, Sha la la la, I'm going home, Take me home
Sha la la la, Sha la la la, I'm going home
Hear the angles sing
Sha la la la, Sha la la la, I'm going home
Come on and sing with me
Sha la la la, Sha la la la, I'm going home
No, no, no not mama, no not mama, no no no no, why, why, why, why, sha la la la la
Reach up again and I scream, sha la, sha la la la, sha la la la, la la la.
