Rock A Bye Bye Lyrics

If you could only hear
The silent screams
When you wake them up
From their dreams
Nothing is heard
Not even a

Even a word

Rock a bye baby
On the tree top
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall

Rock rock rock a bye baby
Rock rock rock bye bye

And if they had
Any choice at all
You still can't hear
Those voices that call
And when the bough breaks
The cradle will
Cradle will
Cradle will fall

Tell a raped woman or child that she has to carry the seed of her abuser, or a teenage girl who falls...
