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?
Little by little I turn to the light 
And one day I'll be satisfied 
Like the hand that rocks the cradle 
I gotta be gentle and strong 
The hand that rocks the cradle 
Gonna be the lucky one 
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 
Little by little the wheel turns around 
And one day I'll be satisfied 
Like the hand that rocks the cradle 
I gotta be gentle and strong 
The hand that rocks the cradle 
Gonna be the lucky one
