Child Of Babylon Lyrics - Come An' Get It - Whitesnake

(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, 

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

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 hide, got no place to run 

I am a child, 

A child of Babylon
