In The Ghetto |
As the snow flies |
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' |
A poor little baby child is born |
In the ghetto |
And his mama cries |
Cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need |
It’s another hungry mouth to feed |
In the ghetto |
People, don’t you understand |
The child needs a helping hand |
Or he’ll grow to be an angry young man some day |
Take a look at you and me |
Are we too blind to see |
Do we simply turn our heads |
And look the other way |
Well the world turns |
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose |
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows |
In the ghetto |
And his hunger burns |
So he starts to roam the streets at night |
And he learns how to steal |
And he learns how to fight |
In the ghetto |
Then one night in desperation |
A young man breaks away |
He buys a gun, steals a car |
Tries to run, but he don’t get far |
And his mama cries |
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man |
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand |
In the ghetto |
As her young man dies |
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' |
Another little baby child is born |
In the ghetto |
And his mama cries |
