How many days in a year
When each one is drenched in fear
How many nights in a week
When we can't fall asleep
Cat's in the cradle and the baby's crying from the floor
Sooner or later we might need to ask for more
Eyes on the prize but we can't seem to find our way
Ohh won't you stay, please don't go
How many lines in the sand
When each one is drawn by hand
How many stones in the road
Refuse to count as we go
Cat's in the cradle and the baby's crying from the floor
Sooner or later we might need to ask for more
Eyes on the prize but we can't seem to find our way
Oh, the cat's in the cradle and the baby's crying from downstairs
Diamonds in the sky falling here there and everywhere
Eyes on the prize but we can't seem to find our way
Oh, won't you stay, please don't go
Oh, please just stay, please don't go
