[Intro]
(Mama, they try and break me)

[Verse 1]
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?

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

[Interlude]
Mama, they try and break me
Still, they try and break me

[Verse 2]
Excuse me while I tеnd to how I feel
These things return to mе that still seem real
Now, deservingly, this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't want your aid but the fist I 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

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns (The window burns)
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Can't you hear your names?
Can't you hear your babies crying?

[Chorus]
But now the dreams (But now the dreams) and waking screams
That ever last the night
So build the wall (So build the wall), behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So, can't you hear your babies crying now?
[Outro]
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
