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 Someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames Do you feel your name? Can't you hear your babies crying?
Mama, they try and break me Still, they try and break me
Excuse 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's stopped by wheels of despair
Don't want your hate 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 ever last the night So build a wall, behind it crawl And hide until it's light So can 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
