Cries Of  The Children Of  The Night

Cold and hungry they walk through the night
Full of pain and despair, they see no hope or light
Everywhere, the cities are filled with so many runaways
Each not knowing which night they won't live through
to see the light of a new day
Some sell their bodies so they can survive
Some sell their bodies just to get high
Each and everyone of them has a story to be told
About what went wrong to make their lives so dark and cold
Some will say they came from broken homes
Now they live a life so cold and alone
Others say they were horribly abused in different ways
Till the pain got so great, they had to run away
Many left with big dreams and stars in their eyes
What they found was a world full of hatred and lies
Oh, can you hear the cries of the children of the night?
So many lost souls, forever searching for a guiding light.
