Someone Else Gets the Prize

Still you want to be near him

As the crowd cheers him on

'Cause in your heart

To you he will always belong

You rocked his cradle, you rocked his cradle

And you were there long before they opened the door to claim him

You rocked his cradle (rocked his cradle)

When he wasn't able (when he wasn't able)

You put that feeling inside of him

(Oh) oh (why) why does it always turn out

Someone else, gets the price?

Someone else, gets the price

Tell me, why (why) does it always turn out

(Oh) oh (why) why does it always turn out

Someone else, gets the price?

Someone else, gets away with the price

Tell me, (why) does it always turn out

(Oh) oh (why) why does it always turn out

Someone else, gets the price?

Someone else, gets away with the 'child' sa-
