Child of Babylon |
| Well, I heard the sound of thunder |
| On the day that I was born |
| I was blinded by the lighting |
| An' baptized in the storm |
| My father started crying |
| 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 |
| Well, I’ve fooled around so many times |
| When I’ve known it ain’t been right |
| But I paint it all in colors |
| 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 judgment |
| I know how it will be |
| I’m prepared to meet my maker |
| With no hope for charity |
| I’ll stand alone and pay the price |
| For everything I’ve done |
| 'Cos there ain’t a guardian angel |
| For a child of Babylon |
| I am a child, 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, child of Babylon |
| Child of Babylon |
