First Line: They say that man is mighty
Last Line: Is the hand that rules the world.
Subject(s): Mothers
THEY say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea,
He wields a mighty scepter
O'er lesser powers than he;
But mightier power and stronger
Man from his throne has hurled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
