[00:05.80]As the snow flies
[00:09.37]
[00:10.87]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[00:14.33]A poor little baby child is born
[00:16.89]In the ghetto
[00:19.75]
[00:22.07]And his mama cries
[00:24.69]
[00:27.75]'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[00:30.37]It's another hungry mouth to feed
[00:33.17]In the ghetto
[00:34.93]
[00:38.23]People, don't you understand
[00:40.73]The child needs a helping hand
[00:43.87]Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
[00:48.33]
[00:49.01]Take a look at you and me,
[00:51.52]Are we too blind to see,
[00:54.83]Do we simply turn our heads
[00:58.08]And look the other way
[00:59.95]
[01:02.06]Well the world turns
[01:05.63]
[01:07.86]And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[01:10.98]Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[01:13.43]In the ghetto
[01:15.80]
[01:18.67]And his hunger burns
[01:21.93]
[01:24.14]So he starts to roam the streets at night
[01:26.91]And he learns how to steal
[01:28.39]And he learns how to fight
[01:29.73]In the ghetto
[01:31.73]
[01:35.27]Then one night in desperation
[01:37.47]The young man breaks away
[01:40.51]He buys a gun, steals a car,
[01:43.39]Tries to run, but he don't get far
[01:46.70]And his mama cries
[01:50.85]
[01:52.72]As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
[01:55.28]Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[01:58.05]In the ghetto
[02:00.04]
[02:03.16]And as her young man dies,
[02:05.85]
[02:08.91]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
[02:11.65]Another little baby child is born
[02:14.71]
[02:15.64]In the ghetto
[02:18.44]
[02:21.32]And his mama cries
[02:24.20]
