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 now
They're off to find
The hero of the day
Oh, but what if they should fall
By someone's wicked way
Still the window burns, time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighin'
Keepers of the flames, do you feel your names?
Can't you hear your baby's crying?
Mama, they try and break me
Still they try and break me
S'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, yeah
Don't want your aid but the fist I've made
For years, won'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 a wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
Can't you hear your baby's crying now?
ย
I can't hear you
ย
Still the window burns, time so slowly turns
Someone there is sighin'
Keepers of the flames, can't you hear your names?
Can't you hear your baby's crying?
But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
Can't hear your baby's 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 and break me)
Mama, they try and break me (mama, they try and break me)
Mama, they try, mama, they try
