| + | |
| − | As the snow flies
| + | |
| − | On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
| + | |
| − | A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | And his mother cries
| + | |
| − | One more thing that she don't need
| + | |
| − | It's another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | People, don't you understand
| + | |
| − | The child needs a helping hand
| + | |
| − | Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
| + | |
| − | Take a look at you and me,
| + | |
| − | Are we too blind to see,
| + | |
| − | Do we simply turn our heads
| + | |
| − | And look the other way
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Well the world turns
| + | |
| − | And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
| + | |
| − | Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | And his hunger burns
| + | |
| − | So he starts to roam the streets at night
| + | |
| − | And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight in the ghetto
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Then one night in desperation
| + | |
| − | A young man breaks away
| + | |
| − | Buys a gun, steals a car,
| + | |
| − | Tries to run, but he don't get far
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | His mother cries
| + | |
| − | As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
| + | |
| − | Face down on the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | As her young man dies,
| + | |
| − | On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
| + | |
| − | Poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | And his mama cries
