1
As the snow flies
2
On a cold and grey Chicago morn
3
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
4
And his mama cries
5
Cause there's one thing that she don't need
6
Is another little hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto
7
Oh people don't you understand
8
This child needs a helping hand
9
He's gonna grow to be an angry young man some day
10
Take a look at you and me
11
Are we that blind to see?
12
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
13
And the world turns
14
And the hungry little boy with the runny nose
15
Plays in the streets as the cold wind blows in the ghetto
16
And his hunger burns
17
So he starts to roam the streets at night
18
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto
19
Then one night in desperation
20
The young man breaks away
21
He buys a gun and steals a car
22
He tries to run but he don't get far
23
And his mama cries
24
A crowd gathers round an angry young man
25
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto
26
And as her young man dies
27
On a cold and grey Chicago morn
28
Another little baby child is born in the ghetto
