Lyrics Whitesnake – Child Of Babylon
Text:
When I heard the sound of thunder
On the day that I was born,
I was blinded by the lighting
An’ baptised in the storm
When he saw what he had done,
But, my mother started praying
Have mercy on my son,
He is a child of Babylon
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
When I’ve fooled around so many times
When I’ve known it ain’t been right,
But, I paint it all in colours
When it really should be black and white
I sail my ship through muddy waters,
Try to open every door,
When I saw the seven wonders
It left me wanting more
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
On my day of judgement
I know how it will be,
I’m prepared to meet my maker
I’ll stand alone and pay the price
For everything I’ve done,
‘Cos there ain’t guardian angel
For a child of Babylon
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
Child of Babylon
