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 voices strong, our futures bright And thanks to what we've 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 So they'll pay 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
