Ghetto Lament

[Verse 1]
They live in ghetto dwellings, but they seldom complain
They face starvation daily, nightime finds them in pain
Their future so uncertain, tell me, who is to blame?

[Chorus]
What about the hungry babies?
Their innocence becomes a tragedy
Is it that our leaders are so cold?
Or do they just refuse to see?

[Verse 2]
They live in ghetto dwellings, but they seldom complain (Do we care?)
They face starvation daily, nightime finds them in pain (Do we care?)
Their future so uncertain, tell me, who is to blame? (Do we care?)

[Chorus]
What about the hungry babies? (What about the hungry babies?)
Their innocence becomes a tragedy (Their innocence becomes a tragedy)
Is it that our leaders are so cold? (Is it that our leaders are so cold?)
Or do they just refuse to see? (Or do they just refuse to see?)

[Bridge]
We're waiting for the day (Waiting for the day)
When we can prove that all men are really brothers (All men are really brothers)
Pray for the day [?] love each other
Finding out the way to be at peace (Finding out the way)
How we should all discover (We should all discover)
Hope it's not too late for us to make a lasting peace (Hope it's not too late for us to make a lasting peace)
I hope it's not too late for us to find our saving grace (I hope it's not too late for us to find our saving grace)

[Verse 3]
Is it really any wonder
The way That Man does love you all
That's what they should at least be wondering
We've seen these things occur before

[Outro]
What about the hungry babies? (What about the hungry babies?)
Their innocence becomes a tragedy (Their innocence becomes a tragedy)
Waiting for the Saviour of the World (Waiting for the Saviour of the World)
(Brought to [?] humanity)
Oh, humanity
What about the hungry babies? (What about the hungry babies?)
