The morning sun is high, up there in the skyLong before it touches my old half-worn-out highI must have been an owl in a former lifeI while away the days, but when it's night I flyAnd I was born to the nightLike the stars that fill the skyA child of the dark, searching for the lightI was born to the nightAin't saying that it's right, staying up all nightBut there's no way to change without traveling back in timeI'm settled in my ways, like an old fireflyBy day I tend to fade, but in the night I shineAnd I was born to the nightLike the stars that fill the skyA child of the dark, searching for the lightI was born to the nightAin't nothing I can do, to keep from losing youI could change a line or two, but that won't change the tuneAnd I was born to the nightLike the stars that fill the skyA child of the dark, searching for the lightI was born to the nightI was born to the night
