Hero of the Day (Live at 100.7 WMMS Coffee Break Concert)

[Intro: James Hetfield] Shut up, sensitive song comin' up Mama, they try and break me [Verse 1: James Hetfield] 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: James Hetfield] 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: James Hetfield] Mama, they try and break me Still, they try and break me [Verse 2: James Hetfield] Excuse mе while I tend to how I feel Thesе things return to me that still seem real Now, deservingly, this easy chair But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair [Pre-Chorus: James Hetfield] 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: James Hetfield, Jason Newsted, James Hetfield & Jason Newsted] 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: James Hetfield] I can't hear you [Refrain: James Hetfield] Still, the window burns Time so slowly turns (The window burns) And someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames Can't you feel your names? Can't you hear your babies crying? [Chorus: James Hetfield, Jason Newsted, James Hetfield & Jason Newsted] 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? [Outro: James Hetfield & Jason Newsted] Mama, they try and break me Mama, they try and break me Mama, they try and break me Mama, they try, mama, they try, oh 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, oh Ooh, mama
