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

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
