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 aloneChorus: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 nightLeft 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 insideRepeat chorusHow I long for something betterThan this life I know too wellLord, I know I'm bound for heavenCause I've done my time in hellRepeat chorus
