Cradle of Life

I go down to the ocean

Here on the sand

Ah my heart is broken 

As here I stand

Looking out over the sea

And the cradle of life

Gives me plenty 

Oh the cradle of life

Reaches the shore

Oh the cradle of life

Rocks me gently 

But will the cradle of life

Rock no more

Take a look at this country

Look what you’ve done

Well you board up the windows

Block out the sun

Then you go down to the sea

And the cradle of life

Gives me plenty

Oh the cradle of life

Reaches the shore

Ah the cradle of life

Rocks me gently

But will the cradle of life

Rock no more

Oh rock my soul, rock my soul

Oh rock my soul. rock my soul

There’s no where to run to 

No where to hide

And I cant’ see the turtle;

There’s blood on the tide

Spreading out over the sea

Ah the cradle of life

Gives me plenty 

And the cradle of life

Reaches the shore

Oh the cradle of life

Rocks me gently

But will the cradle of life

Rock no more

Oh rock my soul, rock my soul

Oh rock my soul, rock my soul.
