[00:03.25]
[00:05.25] As the snow flies
[00:10.76] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[00:13.71] A poor little baby child is born
[00:16.27] In the ghetto
[00:18.29]
[00:21.65] And his mama cries
[00:27.26] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[00:29.93] It's another hungry mouth to feed
[00:32.72] In the ghetto
[00:34.28]
[00:37.89] People, don't you understand
[00:40.35] The child needs a helping hand
[00:43.75] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
[00:48.59] Take a look at you and me,
[00:51.15] Are we too blind to see,
[00:54.60] Do we simply turn our heads
[00:57.61] And look the other way
[01:00.58]
[01:01.70] Well the world turns
[01:07.47] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[01:10.51] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[01:12.92] In the ghetto
[01:14.77]
[01:18.26] And his hunger burns
[01:23.73] So he starts to roam the streets at night
[01:26.50] And he learns how to steal
[01:27.71] And he learns how to fight
[01:29.04] In the ghetto
[01:31.34]
[01:34.86] Then one night in desperation
[01:37.46] The young man breaks away
[01:40.04] He buys a gun, steals a car,
[01:43.01] Tries to run, but he don't get far
[01:46.08] And his mama cries
[01:49.60]
[01:52.34] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
[01:54.82] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[01:57.49] In the ghetto
[01:59.41]
[02:02.81] And as her young man dies,
[02:08.49] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
[02:11.25] Another little baby child is born
[02:15.26] In the ghetto
[02:18.45]
[02:21.24] And his mama cries
[02:27.07]
[02:47.43]
[02:51.46] END
