Hero Of The Day

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 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 the wall, behind it 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 it crawl
And hide until it's light

So can you hear your babies cryin' 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
Yeah, mama they try and
Yeah, mama they try and break me

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