As the snow flies[00:00:05]

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto[00:00:10]

And his mama cries 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need[00:00:21]

It's another hungry mouth to feed[00:00:30]

In the ghetto[00:00:33]

People don't you understand[00:00:38]

The child needs a helping hand[00:00:40]

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day[00:00:43]

Take a look at you and me [00:00:48]

Are we too blind to see [00:00:51]

Do we simply turn our heads[00:00:54]

And look the other way[00:00:58]

Well the world turns[00:01:01]

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose[00:01:07]

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto[00:01:11]

And his hunger burns[00:01:18]

So he starts to roam the streets at night[00:01:24]

And he learns how to steal[00:01:26]

And he learns how to fight In the ghetto[00:01:28]

Then one night in desperation[00:01:35]

The young man breaks away[00:01:37]

He buys a gun steals a car [00:01:40]

Tries to run but he don't get far And his mama cries[00:01:43]

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man[00:01:52]

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand In the ghetto[00:01:55]

And as her young man dies On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'[00:02:03]

Another little baby child is born In the ghetto[00:02:11]

And his mama cries In the ghetto In the ghetto[00:02:21]
