Children of the night   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 (※)

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 (※)

夜的小孩   理查瑪爾克斯

我的一生
是在街頭學到的
沒有什麼神奇魔毯或精靈
我的雙腳沒有穿鞋
我能否從這惡夢中醒來呢
一陣冷顫直抵心底
雖然我可能是眾多人中的一個
我卻感到如此孤單

我們是夜的小孩
我們用爭吵來解決問題
我們的聲音如此堅定
我們的未來一片光明
多虧從你身上學到的點點滴滴
我們成長為夜的小孩

遭父親遺棄，只留下臉上的疤痕
母親告訴我
你只是一場錯誤
我嚐盡饑苦
我出賣肉體只為生存
有人向惡魔買來片刻的安慰
但這些都無法觸及真正的內心

我多麼渴望更好的生活
這樣的生活對我來說太過奢華
神啊，我知道我正朝向天堂
因為我曾深陷地獄
