Whoa, whoa, whoa
When you're out in the dark
Nothing to believe in
And you can't find a way back home
There's a man with a secret
There's a visionary sister
Who knows what's right or wrong?
Oh, little by little I turn to the light
One day I'll be satisfied
One day I'll be satisfied
Like the hand that rocks the cradle, oh
Like the hand that rocks
I gotta be gentle and strong, oh
The hand that rocks the cradle, oh
Gonna be, gonna be the lucky one
Whoa, whoa, whoa
♪
When the wind blows cold
And you lose your resistance
Slipping down on the darkest side
You can push too hard
You can run too fast
Don't get lost in the looking glass
Oh, little by little the wheel turns around
One day I'll be satisfied
One day I'll be satisfied
Like the hand that rocks the cradle
Like the hand that rocks
I gotta be gentle and strong, oh
The hand that rocks the cradle, oh
Gonna be, gonna be the lucky one
