Children Of The Night歌词

children of the night
richard marx
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 wont go down without a fight
our voice is strong, our futures bright
and thanks to what we learned from you
weve 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 cant touch whats inside
we are the children of the night
we wont go down without a fight
our voice is strong, our futures bright
and thanks to what we learned from you
weve grown into the children of the night
how i long for something better
than this life i know too well
lord, i know im bound for heaven
cause ive done my time in hell
we are the children of the night
we wont go down without a fight
our voice is strong, our futures bright
and thanks to what we learned from you
weve grown into the children of the night
