In the heat of the street in the city
a young boy hides the pain
and he walks so tall, trying to hold 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.
you're just a pawn in a losin' game
you lose at life it ain't no game
chorus: 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
chorus: hear their cries
the hardest part is the night
(in the night, stay alive, in the night)
solo
these four walls they could tell you some stories
about lying and dying and fame
and the price that you pay
for the glory
about losing and choosing and pain.
chorus: 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
(in the night, stay alive, in the night)
