Richard Marx
　　 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?
　　 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
