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.
