Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All that I know in my life
I have learned on the street
No magic carpet
No genie, no shoes on my feet
[Verse 2]
Will I wake up from this nightmare?
A fear that chills me to the bone
Thought I may be one of many
I feel so all alone
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Left by my father
With only this scar on my face
Told by my mother that
No, you were just a mistake
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
We are the children of the night
We won't go down without a fight
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
But thanks to what we learned from you
We've grown into the children of the night
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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, yeah
