Children of a Lesser God

[Verse 1]
Been a long, hard day, sun's going down around now
Gotta get some shelter, gotta get some food somehow
Mama’s down on the corner, daddy left long ago
Nowhere to hide your fears, when the cold winds blow
Ooh, can't get to sleep at night, so hard to face each day
Somehow I've got to get up, somehow I’ve got to get away
Till I heard someone say:

[Chorus]
Children of a lesser god
Light a candle in your window till the morning light
Children of a lesser god
Take hold of your dreams, hold them tight

[Verse 2]
Some days I wanna cry, some days I get so low
But I know I gotta do what's right, to make it to a better day
Ooh, some days I'm so confused, why is my world like this
Why do they pass me by, when they know that it's just
A condition of the heart, in this day
Mm... little do they know, not too far away
A little beaten child, praise to thee his pray, no

[Chorus]
Children of a lesser god
Light a candle in your window till the morning light
Children of a lesser god
Take hold of your dreams, hold them tight
Children of a lesser god
Do you know the future of this world is in your hands
Children of a lesser god
You can have it all, yes you can...

[Outro]
Baby...
Children of a lesser god
Light a candle in your window till the morning light
Children of a lesser god
Take hold of your dreams, hold them tight
Hey, hey, hey... ooh, ooh, yeah...
Wipe the tears from your eyes...
