Ghetto Child

歌詞

Little girl standin' on the corner Somebody, please won't you lend a hand? I'm just the ghetto child In this so-called, in this so-called free land Somebody, somebody somewhere Somebody, please won't you give a dime? My mother, she's sick in the bed almost dying And I ain't seen, I ain't seen my daddy in a long time Now this is the part that move me so much right here She said, "I know, I know I oughta be in school But I went to school one mornin' and the teacher, she told When you come back, child, have on some shoes" I'm just the ghetto child Somebody, please, please help the ghetto child I'm just the ghetto child In this so-called, in this so-called free land
