All that I know in my life,
|
I have learned on the street
|
No magic carpet, no genie, no shoes on my feet
|
Will I wake up from this nightmare?
|
A fear that chills me to the bone
|
Though I may be one of many
|
I feel so all alone
|
|
We are the children of the night
|
We won't go down without a fight
|
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
|
And thanks to what we learned from you
|
We've grown into the children of the night
|
|
Left by my father with only this scar on my face
|
Told by my mother that,
|
'no, you were just a mistake'
|
I have tasted my own hunger
|
Sold my body to survive
|
Some have paid to scratch the surface
|
But they can't touch what's inside
|
|
We are the children of the night
|
We won't go down without a fight
|
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
|
And thanks to what we learned from you
|
We've grown into the children of the night
|
|
How I long for something better
|
Than this life I know too well
|
Lord, I know I'm bound for heaven
|
Cause I've done my time in hell
|
|
We are the children of the night
|
We won't go down without a fight
|
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
|
And thanks to what we learned from you
|
We've grown into the children of the night
|
