Текст песни: Child Of Babylon + перевод

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
