Lyrics

CRADLE (Mike Borok)

I was a troubled child in a strange and troubled world
Where we watched for guided missiles from the heavens
Now I'm grown and the world has changed
The bombs are everywhere
Guided by vengeance and a prayer

Sleep now, my little baby
I'll rock your cradle
And maybe things will be better someday
If they don't get worse

I watched a troubled world on a black and white TV
When they shot them down in Dallas and in Memphis
Now I'm grown, and the world has changed
The gunmen live next door
And cameras watch convenience stores

(repeat chorus)

I watched my heroes leave their footprints on the moon
But they wandered off the path that leads to heaven
And I sometimes feel I'm far from home
In a world that's cold and wild
Lost like some milk container child

Sweet dreams, my darling Rachel
I'll tuck you in
And maybe things will be better someday
If they don't get worse
Hush now, my sweet Amanda
I'll kiss your hair
And maybe things will be better someday
