| Oh when his world is empty
|
| Lost in the shades of the city
|
| He’s got to face his loneliness
|
| How this world is full of madness
|
| And through the experience and faith
|
| He’ll unlock to let his flame
|
| While he’s got many many many many many trouble
|
| But he stands strong, very humble
|
| Well he’s got strength (he's got strength)
|
| He’s got so much strength (so much strength)
|
| Cause he’s a child, child
|
| A child of the ghetto, ghetto
|
| He’s just a child, child
|
| A child of the ghetto, ghetto
|
| He’s doing fine
|
| Oh when he sits next to you
|
| You can feel his very soul coming through
|
| He’s got that special look in the eyes
|
| That people who really suffered have
|
| He has known so much, so much pain
|
| But he walks with pride and no shame
|
| And now he knows how to find hard times
|
| By spreading his jaw time after time
|
| But he’s got strength (he's got strength)
|
| Yeah so much strength (so much strength)
|
| Cause he’s a child, child
|
| A child of the ghetto, ghetto
|
| He’s just a child, child
|
| A child of the ghetto, ghetto
|
| And he’s doing fine
|
| Ohhh, don’t child
|
| I know life is not easy this time
|
| Keep the smile on your face
|
| And show us the way to go, hmm
|
| Show us the way child
|
| (Child, child) child of the ghetto, ghetto
|
| Child, child
|
| A child of the ghetto, ghetto
|
| This kid is doing fine
|
| (Child, child
|
| Child of the ghetto, ghetto
|
| Child, child)
|
| A child of the ghetto, ghetto |
