In the heat of the street of the city. A young boy hides the pain. 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 (Hear their cries). The hardest part is the night. (In the night hear their cries in the night). Stay alive (Stay alive). The hardest part is the night. (is the night stay alive...). 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 fame. (2X) Hear their cries (Hear their cries). The hardest part is the night. (In the night hear their cries in the night). Stay alive (Stay alive). The hardest part is the night. (is the night stay alive... (in the night)...). Solo. 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 (Hear their cries). The hardest part is the night. (In the night hear their cries in the night). Stay alive (Stay alive). The hardest part is the night. (is the night stay alive in the night...). Hear their cries (Hear their cries). The hardest part is the night.
