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?
