Hero of the Day (Remastered) Lyrics

Oh, 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 you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?

Oh, they can 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 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 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?
Did you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams, and waking screams
That ever last the night
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
