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 Someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames Do you feel your names? Do you hear your babies crying? Mama they try and break me Still they try and break me 'Scuse 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 stops by wheels of despair 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 fell But now the dreams and waking screams that ever last through the night (echoed between James and Jason)
So build the wall behind it crawl and hide until it's light Can you hear your babies crying now? Still the window burns Time so slowly turns And someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames, can't you feel your names? Can't 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 and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try Mama they try
