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? 
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 [bad word] 

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
