As the snow flies
随着雪花的飘落
On a cold and grey chicago mornin'

A poor little baby child is born

In the ghetto

And his mama cries

'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
孩子需要救助
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
不然他有一天会成长为一个愤怒的年轻人
Take a look at you and me，
检讨下我和你
Are we too blind to see，
我们是否太漠不关心
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way

Well the world turns
世事流转
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
在寒风中的街道上玩耍
In the ghetto

So he starts to roam the streets at night

And he learns how to steal

In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation

A young man breaks away

He buys a gun， steals a car，

Tries to run， but he don't get far

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

And as his young man dies，

Another little baby child is born
