| [00:06.311] |
As the snow flies |
| [00:11.570] |
On a cold and gray Chicago morning |
| [00:14.818] |
A poor little baby child is born |
| [00:17.059] |
In the ghetto |
| [00:22.685] |
And his mama cries |
| [00:28.178] |
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need |
| [00:31.178] |
It's another hungry mouth to feed |
| [00:33.671] |
In the ghetto |
| [00:39.174] |
People, don't you understand |
| [00:41.427] |
The child needs a helping hand |
| [00:44.680] |
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day |
| [00:49.690] |
Take a look at you and me |
| [00:52.179] |
Are we too blind to see? |
| [00:55.438] |
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way? |
| [01:02.883] |
Well, the world turns |
| [01:08.388] |
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose |
| [01:11.385] |
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows |
| [01:14.137] |
In the ghetto |
| [01:19.392] |
And his hunger burns |
| [01:24.630] |
So he starts to roam the streets at night |
| [01:27.677] |
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight |
| [01:29.939] |
In the ghetto |
| [01:35.427] |
Then one night in desperation |
| [01:38.182] |
The young man breaks away |
| [01:40.929] |
He buys a gun |
| [01:42.195] |
Steals a car |
| [01:43.684] |
Tries to run |
| [01:45.179] |
But he don't get far |
| [01:47.188] |
And his mama cries |
| [01:53.172] |
As a crowd gathers around an angry young man |
| [01:55.698] |
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand |
| [01:58.187] |
In the ghetto |
| [02:03.931] |
And as her young man dies |
| [02:09.443] |
On a cold and gray Chicago morning |
| [02:12.180] |
Another little baby child is born |
| [02:17.441] |
In the ghetto |
| [02:21.937] |
And his mama cries |
