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 la, I'm going home      Something inside makes me scream   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, la la la la, I'm going home   Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home      Summer on the radio and the phone rings   And it was Jeanette   Said, "Boy we had to let her go   I begged her no, no not yet"      You left six of us to fend for ourselves   Guess it's part of someone's master plan   I see you laughing, you're my best friend   You're the light of the lamb, and I smiled   When the Angels sing, "Sha la la la la la la"      Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home   Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home      Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home   Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home
