    They say man rules the universe,
    That subject shore and main
    Kneel down and bless the empery
    Of his majestic reign;
    But a sovereign, gentler, mightier,
    Man from his throne has hurled,
    For the hand that rocks the cradle
    Is the hand that rules the world.

They say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea,
He wields a mighty scepter
O'er lesser powers that be;
But a mightier power and stronger
Man from his throne has hurled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
