In the heat of the street of the city

A young boy hides the pain

And he walks so tall, trying to hang on

But he knows he's going down again

I know he's going down...



Darkness fades he's the prince of his city

In a place where they all know your name

You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed.

Your just a pawn in a losin' game

You lose at life it ain't no game



Hear their cries

The hardest part is the night

(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)

Stay alive

The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...



All alone in a place where the lonely

They all have to walk through the rain

And they dance on the edge where you only

Only pray that it has to end

That the night ain't no friend



Hear their cries

The hardest part is the night

(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)

Stay alive

The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...

(X 2)



These four walls they could tell you some stories

About lying and dying and fame

There's a price that you pay for the glory

About losing and choosing and pain.



Hear their cries

The hardest part is the night

In the night, hear their cries, in the night

Stay alive

In the night, stay alive, in the night
