Lyrics
[Reba McEntire with Darius Rucker] As the snow flies On a cold and gray Chicago morning A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto (In the ghetto) And his mama cries 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need It's another little hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto (In the ghetto) [Reba McEntire with Darius Rucker] People, don't you understand A 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? [Reba McEntire & Darius Rucker] As the world turns And a hungry little boy with a runny nose Plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto (In the ghеtto) [Reba McEntire with Darius Rucker] And his hunger burns So he starts to roam the streets at night And hе learns how to steal And he learns how to fight In the ghetto (In the ghetto) [Reba McEntire, Darius Rucker, Both] Then one night in desperation A young man breaks away He buys a gun, He steals a car Tries to run, but he don't get far And his mama cries [Reba McEntire & Darius Rucker] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man Face down on the street with a gun in his hand In the ghetto (In the ghetto) [Reba McEntire with Darius Rucker] And as her young man dies (In the ghetto) On a cold and gray Chicago morning Another little baby child is born In the ghetto (In the ghetto) [Reba McEntire] And her mama cries (In the ghetto) In the ghetto (In the ghetto)
