[00:05.92]As the snow flies
[00:11.48]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[00:14.39]A poor little baby child is born
[00:16.83]In the ghetto
[00:22.33]And his mama cries
[00:28.02]'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[00:30.77]It's another hungry mouth to feed
[00:33.44]In the ghetto
[00:38.63]People don't you understand
[00:41.27]The child needs a helping hand
[00:44.66]Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
[00:49.46]Take a look at you and me
[00:52.02]Are we too blind to see
[00:55.46]Do we simply turn our heads
[00:59.16]The other way
[01:02.72]Well the world turns
[01:08.66]And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[01:11.60]Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[01:13.80]In the ghetto
[01:19.18]And his hunger burns
[01:24.79]So he starts to roam the streets at night
[01:27.41]And he learns how to steal
[01:29.03]And he learns how to fight
[01:30.02]In the ghetto
[01:35.90]Then one night in desperation
[01:37.52]
[01:38.46]The young man breaks away
[01:41.14]He buys a gun steals a car
[01:43.96]Tries to run but he don't get far
[01:47.18]And his mama cries
[01:53.43]As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
[01:56.11]Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[01:58.68]In the ghetto
[02:03.93]And as her young man dies
[02:09.67]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[02:11.61]
[02:12.33]Another little baby child is born
[02:16.48]In the ghetto
[02:22.23]And his mama cries
