Lyrics

We all need some rocking and someone to hold
We all need some rocking when life's winds blow cold
We all need some rocking, the young and the old
Rocking's like loving and love is gold

When I took my first steps my feet failed me
My mom picked me up and kissed my sore knee
She carried me round to that old rocking chair
Many's a time I've been comforted there

When I was young girl my mind was so clear
My heart was wide open my soul knew no fear
Somewhere in childhood I felt failure's tears
My mother's wise words still ring in my ears

Now I am a mother I have my own child
Sometimes I sing and rock for a while
My mother rocks in me she teaches me still
I pass on her love 'til his heart drinks its fill

Now mama is older she's often alone
I know there are nights when she aches to the bone
I wish I could rock her set that pain free
Return all that love she's given to me

We all need some rocking and someone to hold
We all need some rocking when life's winds blow cold
We all need some rocking, the young and the old
Rocking's like loving and love is gold
