[00:06.44]As the snow flies
[00:09.85]On a cold and gray chicago mornin
[00:13.48]A poor little baby child is born
[00:18.18]In the ghetto
[00:24.87]And his mama cries
[00:28.52]Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[00:32.02]It's another hungry mouth to feed
[00:36.94]In the ghetto
[00:41.59]People, don't you understand
[00:44.80]The child needs a helping hand
[00:49.09]Or hell grow to be an angry young man some day
[00:55.00]Take a look at you and me,
[00:58.30]Are we too blind to see,
[01:02.67]Do we simply turn our heads
[01:06.14]And look the other way
[01:10.59]As the world turns
[01:14.11]And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[01:17.65]Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[01:22.43]In the ghetto
[01:29.04]And his hunger burns
[01:32.54]So he starts to roam the streets at night
[01:36.04]And he learns how to steal
[01:37.66]And he learns how to fight
[01:40.96]In the ghetto
[01:46.65]Then one night in desperation
[01:49.85]The young man breaks away
[01:53.05]He buys a gun, steals a car,
[01:56.71]Tries to run, but he don't get far
[02:01.39]And his mama cries
[02:04.74]As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
[02:08.17]Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[02:13.19]In the ghetto
[02:18.11]And as her young man dies,
[02:21.58]On a cold and gray chicago mornin,
[02:25.23]Another little baby child is born
[02:30.02]In the ghetto
[02:43.55]In the ghetto
[02:52.01]In the ghetto
[02:55.52]In the ghetto
