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.
