Richard Marx - Silent Scream

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
