Rock 'n' Roll Children

Ronnie James Dio wrote this song around the time he became involved with helping the Children of the Night foundation: http://www.childrenofthenight.org/

It was starting to rain on the night That they first decided It was blinding with snow on the night That they ran away They were found in the dark But they never returned Just like somebody slammed the door Bang She was meant to be wild He was nearly a child But they only could feel each other They were paper and fire Angel and liar, the Devil of one another Then they were thrown to the ground With a terrible sound Just like somebody broke a heart Rock 'n' roll children Alone again Rock 'n' roll children Without a friend But they got rock 'n' roll It was starting to rain on the night That they cried forever It was blinding with snow on the night That they screamed goodbye They were lost in the dark And they never returned Just like somebody slammed the door Our rock 'n' roll children Alone again Rock 'n' roll children Without a friend Poor rock 'n' roll children Caught up in the spinning wheel Poor rock 'n' roll children Alone again It was starting to rain on the night That they ran It was blinding with snow on the night We let them go Poor rock 'n' roll children Children, rock 'n' roll children Children of the night Poor rock 'n' roll children Rock 'n' roll Poor children, lost poor souls Rock 'n' roll children Poor rock 'n' roll children
