(coverdale/marsden) 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 My father started crying When he saw what he had done Butmy 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 hidenowhere 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 ButI 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 hidegot 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 With no hope for charity 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 hidegot no place to run I am a child A child of babylon Child of babylon
