Children of the Night

Children of the Night

    

    Richard Marx
    All that I know in my life,
    I have learned on the street
    No magic carpet, no genie¹, 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
