As the (1)________ flies on a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

And his mama (3)__________ 'cause if there's one 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 (4)__________ 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 (5)____________ to roam the streets at night

And he (6)____________ how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto




Then one (7)__________ in desperation a young man breaks away

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

And his mama 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 (8)__________ man dies on a (9)________ and gray Chicago mornin'

Another little baby child is born in the ghetto




And his mama cries
