Child of the Ghetto

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
