[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
If you could only hear the silent screams
When you wake them up from their dreams
Nothing is heard
Not even a, even a, even a word

[Chorus]
Rock a bye baby (rock a bye baby)
On the tree top (on the tree top)
When the bough breaks
The cradle will rock
Rock, rock, rock a bye baby
Rock, rock, rock
Bye, bye

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Rock a bye baby (rock a bye baby)
On the tree top (on the tree top)
When the bough breaks
The cradle will rock (cradle will rock)
Rock, rock, rock a bye baby
Rock, rock, rock
[Instrumental Outro/Guitar Solo]
