As the snow flies

[Briar Rose 7457]

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

 

[tiggerlover]

A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto.

 

[fireplug]

And his momma cries

 

[tiggerlover]

'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need it's another hungry mouth to feed.

 

[fireplug]

In the Ghetto.....

People don't you understand
the child needs a helpin' hand..........



Steve

 

[tiggerlover]

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day.

 

[fireplug]

Take a look at you and me
are we too blind to see


Steve

 

[tiggerlover]

Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way.

 

[fireplug]

and the world turns
as a hungry little boy
with a runny nose
plays in the street

 

[fireplug]

Where the cold wind blows
In the Ghetto
and his hunger burns......

Steve

 

[Jeepers Lady]

so he starts to run the streets at night
where he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight
in the ghetto

 

[fireplug]

and his hunger burns
then one night in desperation
the young man breaks away



Steve

 

[Jeepers Lady]

he buys a gun - steals a car - tries to run
but he don't get far

 

[fireplug]

and his momma cries
as a crowd gathers round
her angry young man
face down in the street
with a gun in his hand


Steve

 

[fireplug]

in the ghetto
and as a young man dies
on a cold and gray Chicago mornin
another baby child is born
in the ghetto
and his momma cries.........


Steve
