Great song Marilyn! Really an enjoyable listen! I’ll be able to say this great writer held my hand and gave me guideance when I first started pitching songs once this song hits the charts!

Very good writing, lots of good stuff happening here. story well told. Only concern is the PCh melody sounds exactly like the CH. Perhaps that could be changed a little melodically, chord wise? Just one person’s opinion.

Rocks The Cradle
(c)Marilyn Oakley
Blessed is the woman’s hand
May angels guard it’s strength and grace
Know the road from good and evil
Keep the soul from the devil’s place
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Raise one up in the way they should go
Chorus:
The hand that rocks the cradle
From the cradle to the grave
A mama has a say on how her baby is raised
From the first step to the last breath
A mama’s steady love is stable
The hand that rocks the cradle
Blessed is the woman’s mission
From birth to 6 feet under the sod
Prays to keep a young heart open
Always to the breath of God
The hand that rocks is the hand that rules
For a child will follow in his mama’s shoes
Chorus: Repeat
Bridge:
Don’t rock the hand that rocks you
There’s some things you just don’t do
Chorus: Repeat
