She asked me maybe I would share her sorrow About the men that tried to treat her wrong Though just a baby A waiting her tomorrow It's rock me baby, rock me baby All night long She needs an answer to her confusion Someone to guide her with tenderness But if she's asking for a solution All that she gets You know it's something like this Don't know where we come from Don't know where we're going to But if all of this should have a reason We would be the last to know So let's just hope there is a promised land Hang on till then as best you can Everybody's ills you know it Fills her with compassion That's why she tries To save the world alone She helps the needy in her own fashion And tries to give them all her own Rock me baby, rock me baby All night long
