As the snow flies |
| [00:11.23] |
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' |
| [00:14.23] |
A poor little baby child is born |
| [00:16.85] |
In the ghetto |
| [00:22.03] |
And his mama cries |
| [00:27.70] |
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need |
| [00:30.39] |
It's another hungry mouth to feed |
| [00:33.32] |
In the ghetto |
| [00:38.31] |
People, don't you understand |
| [00:40.12] |
The child needs a helping hand |
| [00:43.37] |
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day |
| [00:48.17] |
Take a look at you and me, |
| [00:51.23] |
Are we too blind to see, |
| [00:55.10] |
Do we simply turn our heads |
| [00:57.91] |
And look the other way |
| [01:02.46] |
Well the world turns |
| [01:08.14] |
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose |
| [01:11.20] |
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows |
| [01:13.63] |
In the ghetto |
| [01:16.50] |
And his hunger burns |
| [01:21.81] |
So he starts to roam the streets at night |
| [01:27.17] |
And he learns how to steal |
| [01:28.98] |
And he learns how to fight |
| [01:30.17] |
In the ghetto |
| [01:35.60] |
Then one night in desperation |
| [01:37.90] |
The young man breaks away |
| [01:40.34] |
He buys a gun, steals a car, |
| [01:43.46] |
Tries to run, but he don't get far |
| [01:47.33] |
And his mama cries |
| [01:53.38] |
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man |
| [01:55.63] |
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand |
| [01:58.68] |
In the ghetto |
| [02:03.68] |
And as her young man dies, |
| [02:09.29] |
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin', |
| [02:12.10] |
Another little baby child is born |
| [02:16.16] |
In the ghetto |
| [02:21.96] |
And his mama cries |
