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 you feel your name
did you hear your babies crying
mama they try and break me
still they try and break me
e cuse 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 fist i make
for years can't hold or feel
no i'm not all me
so please e cuse 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 it crawl
and hide until it's light
so can you hear your babies crying now
still the window burns
time so slowly turns
someone there is sighing
keepers of the flames
did you feel your names
did you hear your babies crying
but now the dreams and waking screams
that ever last the night
so build a wall behind it crawl
and hide until it's light
so can't you hear your
babies crying now
mama they try and break me
mama they try and break me
mama they try and break me
mama they try
mama they try
mama they try and break me
mama they try and break me
mama they try and break me
mama they try
mama they try y y y
