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 go

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?
Do you hear your babies crying?

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

Excuse 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 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 (but the dreams) and waking screams that ever last the night
So build a wall (so build a wall) behind it crawl and hide until it’s light
So can’t you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns, time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames, can’t you hear your name?
Can’t you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams (but the dreams) and waking screams that ever last the night
So build a wall (so build a 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 and break me)
Mama they try and break me (mama they try and break me)
Mama they try, mama they try
