Children Of The Night

Lyrics

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  
  
[Chorus]  
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  
  
[Chorus]  
  
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  
  
[Chorus]
