The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Lyrics

Joined
Joined in life
From the start
From the first beating
Of your heart
Keep you safe
Keep you warm
Always your shelter
from the storm

Pulling the strings
Holding the threads
They know what's best for you
Make sure you don't stray
From the path that they've made
They know what's best

The hand that rocks the cradle
Holds the key to your soul
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world

They always say
Do your best
Always be
Better than the rest
They say don't do this
They say don't do that
Just two things our way
And don't
Don't talk back

Pulling the strings
Holding the threads
They know what's best for you
Make sure you don't stray
From the path that they've made
They know what's best

The hand that rocks the cradle
Holds the key to your soul
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world

The hand that rocks the cradle
Holds the key to your soul
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world

Your hands holding me
Your hands pulling me
Dragging and forcing me into the dark
Your words whispering
Your words punishing
Trapped in a cage of that twisted art

Make sure you don't stray
From the path that they've made
They know what's best

The hand that rocks the cradle
Holds the key to your soul
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world
The hand that rocks the cradle
Holds the key to your soul
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world
