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
Someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you 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 fist 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 crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Did you hear your names?
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’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
