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

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'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 the 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

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 the crawl

And hide until it's light

So can you hear your babies cryin' now?

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