Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm getting ready
I'm in the mood to fool around
It's time for action
Now the boys are back in town
[Verse 2]
So turn up the music
Make it loud and proud
Let's see reaction
Let the spotlight hit the crowd
[Verse 3]
Don't hide what you feel inside
Don't let anybody stand in your way
Just let the music take you higher
[Verse 4]
Now are you ready to rock
Children of the night?
Are you ready to roll
Children of the night?
[Verse 5]
You got the power
I feel the fire in my soul
You got the fever
'Cause you were born to rock and roll
[Verse 6]
Don't run for cover
I'm gonna show you what I've learned
Just come a little closer
Come on and get your fingers burned
[Verse 7]
Don't hide what you feel inside
Don't let anybody stand in your way
Just let the music take you higher
[Verse 8]
Now are you ready to rock?
Are you ready to roll?
Are you ready to rock?
[Verse 9]
Now are you ready to rock
Children of the night?
Are you ready to roll
Children of the night?
[Verse 10]
I'm getting ready
I'm in the mood to fool around
It's time for action
'Cause now the boys are back in town
[Verse 11]
Don't hide what you feel inside
Don't let anybody stand in your way
Just let the music take you higher
[Verse 12]
Now are you ready to rock
Children of the night?
Are you ready to roll
Children of the night?
[Verse 13]
Are you ready to rock
Children of the night?
Are you ready to roll
Children of the night?
Are you ready to rock, rock, rock?
Are you ready to roll
Children of the night?
[Verse 14]
So just let the music take you higher
