Don Blackman - Ghetto Lament lyrics

They live in ghetto dwellings but they seldom complain They face starvation daily and nighttime finds them in pain Their future's so uncertain, tell me, who is to blame And 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 They live in ghetto dwellings but they seldom complain They face starvation daily, nighttime finds them in pain Their future's so uncertain, tell me, who is to blame What about the hungry babies, their innocence becomes a tragedy Oh waiting for the savior to uplift all humanity We're praying for the day when we conclude that all men are really brothers We're praying for the day when hate is ending and we can love each other We're finding out a way where we can live in peace with God we should all discover I hope it's not too late for us to find that lasting peace But I hope it's not too late for us to find that saving grace Is it really any wonder the way that man does study war Exploitation leads to plundering, we've seen this thing occur before But what about the hungry babies, their innocence becomes a tragedy And waiting for the savior of the world to uplift all humanity Please tell me what I wanna know What about the hungry babies? Why do they suffer so? What about the hungry babies? Is it that our leaders are so cold or do they just refuse to see what's going on? What about the hungry babies? It's up to you and I to stop the innocent children from dying What about the hungry babies? Have a heart and do something for those children now, oh Lord Our leaders have the power to change things, but do they really want to change things for the good Y'all hear me what I'm saying
