Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle
Is setting all the tables
In the other world

And youth find time on their own
Just by the answer, the world is at ransom
I know that I should be feelin' alone
But the weight on my shoulders
Makes me feel right at home

The hand that rocks the cradle
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle
Is setting all the tables
In the other world

Men make plans for the sky
The sky's on the pavement
The universe is runnin' dry
Will your eye take no mind
For the ones that are coming
Are of another kind
The hand that rocks the cradle
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle
Is setting all the tables
In the other world

And youth find time on their own
Just by the answer, the world is at ransom
I know

The hand that rocks the cradle
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle
Is setting all the tables
In the other world

And men make plans for the sky
The sky's on the pavement
The universe is runnin' dry
Will your eye take no mind
For the ones that are coming
Are of another kind
And the hand that rocks the cradle
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
