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
 And someone there is sighing
 Keepers of the flames
 Do ya feel your name?
 Can't you hear your babies crying?

 Mama they try and break me
 Still they try and break me

 'Scuze 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 first I've 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 the crawl
 And hide until it's light
 So can you hear your babies cryin' now?

 Still the window burns
 Time so slowly turns
 And someone there is sighing
 Keepers of the flames
 Do ya feel your name?
 Can't you hear your babies crying?

 But now the dreams and waking screams
 That ever last the night
 So build the wall, behind the crawl
 And hide until it's light
 So can you hear your babies cryin' now?

 Mama they try and break me
