Verse
[F]All that I know in my life I have learned on the [Am7]street
[F]No magic carpet, no genie, no shoes on my [Am7]feet

Though I [G]may be one of many
I [Am]feel so all [G]alone

[C] We are the [Am]children of the [Bb]night
[C] We won't go [Am]down without a [Bb]fight
[C] Our voices [Am]strong, our futures [F]bright
[Ab]
We've [Bb]grown into the children of the night[Am]
Verse
[F] Left by my father with only this scar on my [Am7]face
[F] Told by my mother that no, you were just a [Am7]mistake
I have [G]tasted my own hunger
Sold my [F]body to survive
So they'll [G]pay to scratch the surface
But they [Am]can't touch what's [Bm]inside

Than this [F]life I know too well
Lord I [G]know I'm bound for heaven
