1
As the snow flies
2
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
3
A poor little baby child is born
4
In the ghetto
5
And his mama cries
6
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
7
It's another hungry mouth to feed
8
In the ghetto
9
People, don't you understand
10
The child needs a helping hand
11
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
12
Take a look at you and me
13
Are we too blind to see,
14
Do we simply turn our heads
15
And look the other way
16
Well the world turns
17
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
18
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
19
In the ghetto
20
And his hunger burns
21
So he starts to roam the streets at night
22
And he learns how to steal
23
And he learns how to fight in the ghetto
24
Then one night in desperation
25
A young man breaks away
26
He buys a gun, steals a car
27
Tries to run, but he don't get far
28
And his mama cries
29
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
30
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
31
In the ghetto
32
As her young man dies
33
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
34
Another little baby child is born
35
In the ghetto
