Lyrics:

                                                  

I’ve seen that look in his eyes
Mad at the world and it’s no surprise
His parents weren’t fit to raise a child
So he grew up alone no one to keep him warm
It’s no wonder he turned out so mean and wild

CHORUS: 
HIS CRADLE NEVER ROCKED AND LAUGHTER NEVER ROLLED
A GENTLE MOTHER’S TOUCH IS SOMETHING HE’S NEVER KNOWN
HE’S NEVER HEARD ROCK A  BYE  IN THE TREE TOP
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT HIS CRADLE NEVER ROCKED
   
He’s just turned twenty years old 
Got twenty years to go 
He robbed a Quick Mart store and shot the clerk
The Chaplain says he can’t be tamed lack of love is to blame
And every day his anger just gets worse

REPEAT CHORUS
modulate
REPEAT CHORUS (2Xs)

********* 
added BRIDGE:OPTIONAL
Tonight in his cell he prayed to God for help
And now he feels a love he’s never felt……..

cuz .....
REPEAT last two lines of CHORUS
