Tomorrow Lies in the Cradle

about

Jack vocal, guitar
Fred Hellerman sang it at the Weavers Reunion concert in 1980. I like lo think he came to eo-write il because he had his own new-born son. Whether you have a new son, or a daughter, or cherish a hope that the next generation will have a better tomorrow, it's a good song for you.

lyrics

All of my days were grains of sand
I never cared where they fell
Oh but the days that wait for me now
Have something different to tell

Tomorrow lies in the cradle
Tomorrow has eyes that shine
Tomorrow lies in the cradle
With a smile a little like mine

One little boy with a voice so loud
Like a rooster greeting the dawn
One little song for tomorrow
To leave behind when I’m gone

Tomorrow lies in the cradle
Tomorrow has eyes that shine
Tomorrow lies in the cradle
With a smile a little like mine

This is my son my newborn son
And he’s bound for a brand new day
Perhaps I can walk along with him
A little part of the way

Tomorrow lies in the cradle
Tomorrow has eyes that shine
Tomorrow lies in the cradle
With a smile a little like mine
