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 feel 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 fist I’ve made
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 never last the night
So build the wall, behind the crawl
And hide until it’s light
So can you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do ya feel your name?
Can’t you hear your babies crying?

Mama they try and break me
