All that I know in my life I have learned on the streetNo magic carpet, no genie, no shoes on my feetWill I wake up from this nightmareA fear that chills me to the boneThough I may be one of manyI feel so all alone
We are the children of the nightWe won't go down without a fightOur voices strong, our futures brightAnd thanks to what we've learned from youWe've grown into the children of the night
Left by my father with only this scar on my faceTold by my mother that no, you were just a mistakeI have tasted my own hungerSold my body to surviveSo they'll pay to scratch the surfaceBut they can't touch what's inside
We are the children of the nightWe won't go down without a fightOur voices strong, our futures brightAnd thanks to what we've learned from youWe've grown into the children of the nightOh, ohHow much Ionger for something betterThan this life I know too wellLord, I know I'm bound for heavenCause I've done my time in hell
We are the children of the night, children of the nightWe won't go down without a fight, oh, noOur voices strong our futures brightAnd thanks to what we've learned from youWe've grown into the children of the night, yeah
