CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT

Tricked into another day
By the bright morning sun,
You put all your dreams away -
All your dreams but one.

Doesn't matter what your dream is,
As long as you hold on tight.
Doesn't matter what your dream is -
Just keep running toward the light.

We’re all children of the night,
Waiting for the morning light.
We’re safe only in Dreamland,
Clinging to our father’s hand.
We’re all children of the night,
Waiting for the morning light.

When the days get rough, as days do,
You'll have that dream to hold onto.
When times turn hard, as times will,
That dream will be with you still.

Doesn't matter what your dream is,
As long as you hold on tight.
Doesn't matter what your dream is -
Just keep running toward the light.

We’re all children of the night,
Waiting for the morning light.
We’re safe only in Dreamland,
Clinging to our father’s hand.
We’re all children of the night,
Waiting for the morning light.

The days are too short,
The nights too long.
I pray the good Lord
Will keep me strong.
I've been here before,
If I'm not wrong,
Where the days are too short,
And the nights are too long.

The days are too dim,
The nights too dark.
I plead with Him
To provide the spark
To burn away the grim
Traces of Cain's mark -
In these days too dim
And nights too dark.

We’re all children of the night,
Waiting for the morning light.
We’re safe only in Dreamland,
Clinging to our father’s hand.
We’re all children of the night,
Waiting for the morning light.
