Mama they try and break me

The window burns to light the way back home

A light that warms no matter where they've gone

They're off to find the hero of the day

But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

Still the window burns

Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames

Do ya hear your name?
Can't you hear your babies crying?


Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me


'Scuze me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real


Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair


Don't want your aid
But the first I've make
For years can't hold or feel

No, I'm not all me
So please excuse me
While I tend to how I feel


But now the dreams and waking screams
That ever last the night

So build the wall, behind the crawl
And hide until it's light
So can you hear your babies cryin' now?


Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns

And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do ya hear your names?

Can't you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams and waking screams

That ever last the night
So build the wall, behind the crawl
And hide until it's light

So can you hear your babies cryin' now?

Mama they try and break me
