Children of the night
All that I know in my life,I have learned on the streetNo magic carpet, no genie, no shoes on my feetWill I wake up from this nightmare?A fear that chills me to the boneThough I may be one of manyI feel so all alone
We are the children of the nightWe won't go down without a fightOur voice is strong, our future's brightAnd thanks to what we learned from youWe've grown into the children of the night
Left by my father with only this scar on my faceTold by my mother that,"No, you were just a mistake"I have tasted my own hungerSold my body to surviveSome have paid to scratch the surfaceBut they can't touch what's inside
We are the children of the nightWe won't go down without a fightOur voice is strong, our future's brightAnd thanks to what we learned from youWe've grown into the children of the night
How I long for something betterThan this life I know too wellLord, I know I'm bound for heavenCause I've done my time in hell
We are the children of the nightWe won't go down without a fightOur voice is strong, our future's brightAnd thanks to what we learned from youWe've grown into the children of the night
