As the snow flies [00:00:05]

On a cold and grey Chicago morn [00:00:11]

A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto [00:00:14]

And his mama cries [00:00:22]

Cause there's one thing that she don't need [00:00:28]

Is another little hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto [00:00:31]

People don't you understand [00:00:39]

This child needs a helping hand [00:00:42]

He's gonna grow to be an angry young man some day [00:00:45]

Take a look at you and me [00:00:50]

Are we that blind to see [00:00:53]

Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way [00:00:56]

And the world turns [00:01:04]

And the hungry little boy with the runny nose [00:01:09]

Plays in the streets as the cold wind blows in the ghetto [00:01:12]

And his hunger burns [00:01:20]

So he starts to roam the streets at night [00:01:26]

And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto [00:01:29]

Then one night in desperation [00:01:37]

The young man breaks away [00:01:40]

He buys a gun and steals a car [00:01:42]

He tries to run but he don't get far [00:01:45]

And his mama cries [00:01:50]

A crowd gathers round an angry young man [00:01:56]

Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto [00:01:59]

And as her young man dies [00:02:07]

On a cold and grey Chicago morn [00:02:12]

Another little baby child is born in the ghetto [00:02:15]

And his mama cries [00:02:23]

In the ghetto [00:02:32]
