Lyrics

Oh, 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 you feel your name? Did you hear your babies crying? Oh, 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 stopped by wheels of despair Don't want your aid But the fist I make 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 the wall, behind it 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 Did you hear your names? Did 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 Mama, they try
