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 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't you hear your babies cryin' now? Still the window burns Time so slowly turns And someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames Can't you hear your names? Can't you hear your babies crying? * Repeat Mama they try and break me
