my greedy mother in-law

[Intro — Soft piano and gentle African flute]

Oh, mama, please let me go…
There's a love my heart wants to know.
I will always be your child,
But let me find my happiness…

[Verse 1 — Gentle female vocals]

Mama, you held me in your arms,
You kept me safe from every harm.
But now my heart has found its home,
Why must I face this road alone?

I need your love, I need your care,
But can't you see the love we share?
I'm still your child, I'll always be,
But please allow my heart to breathe.

[Chorus — Soft, emotional vocals]

Mama, don't hold me too tightly,
Love me, but let me live freely.
Don't let your fear destroy my dreams,
Don't tear apart what love has been.

Mama, please, just understand,
I need his heart, I need his hand.
I will love you till the end,
But let my heart choose its own way.

[Verse 2 — Soft, sorrowful melody]

Damian waits with a troubled heart,
While you keep pulling us apart.
He wants a home, a love that's true,
But mama, what am I to do?

Your words are heavy on my soul,
Your love has taken its control.
I never wished to cause you pain,
I only want love to remain.

[Chorus — Gentle harmonies]

Mama, don't hold me too tightly,
Love me, but let me live freely.
Don't let your fear destroy my dreams,
Don't tear apart what love has been.

Mama, please, just understand,
I need his heart, I need his hand.
I will love you till the end,
But let my heart choose its own way.

[Bridge — Whisper-soft singing, piano only]

A mother's love should give us wings,
Not clip them when the heart takes flight.
I wish you'd see the tears I hide,
And hold me close, not choose my side.

[Outro — Soft fading vocals]

Mama, please…
Let love remain.
Don't turn my joy
Into endless pain.

I'm still your daughter…
I'll always be.
But mama, please…
Let my heart be free.

My Greedy Mother-in-Law…
