(David Coverdale & Bernie Marsden)
|
When I heard the sound of thunder
|
On the day that I was born,
|
I was blinded by the lighting
|
An' baptised in the storm
|
My father started crying
|
When he saw what he had done,
|
But, my mother started praying
|
Have mercy on my son,
|
He is a child of Babylon
|
|
I am a child of Babylon,
|
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
|
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
|
I am a child,
|
A child of Babylon
|
|
When I've fooled around so many times
|
When I've known it ain't been right,
|
But, I paint it all in colours
|
When it really should be black and white
|
I sail my ship through muddy waters,
|
Try to open every door,
|
When I saw the seven wonders
|
It left me wanting more
|
|
I am a child of Babylon,
|
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
|
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
|
I am a child,
|
A child of Babylon
|
|
On my day of judgement
|
I know how it will be,
|
I'm prepared to meet my maker
|
With no hope for charity
|
I'll stand alone and pay the price
|
For everything I've done,
|
'Cos there ain't guardian angel
|
For a child of Babylon
|
|
I am a child,
|
A child of Babylon
|
I am a child of Babylon,
|
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
|
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
|
I am a child,
|
A child of Babylon
|
|
Child of Babylon
|
