Some are born to be

Those of us who lead

You hope they're true and fair

The ones who really care

Some are born to fight

Everything that's right

You see 'em everywhere

Some are born to wealth

Earned by someone else

When their moment comes

They take it and they run

Some are born to be

Lonely refugees

Their heart must weigh a ton

Children of the night

Their dreams are filled with fright

They close their eyes and

Pray to God that

Help is on the way

Heaven help us all

Be a guidin' light

To the children of the night

You know how it feels

Some wounds never heal

Scars of yesterday

Still won't fade away

But I believe that we

Could join our hands and be

The ones to set them free

Children of the night

Their dreams are filled with fright

They close their eyes and

Pray to God that

Help is on the way

Heaven help us all

Be a guidin' light

To the children of the night

Children of the night

Their dreams are filled with fright

They close their eyes and

Pray to God that

Help is on the way

Heaven help us all

Be a guidin' light

To the children of the night

Heaven help us all

Be a guidin' light

To the children of the night

Some are born to be

Those of us who leave

Their heart must weigh a ton
