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   So can't you hear your baby's crying now?      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   So 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, mama, they try
