Children of the ghetto
Running wild and free
In a concrete jungle
Filled with misery
There's no inspiration
To brighten up their day
Wild with desperation
I would like to say

Children of the ghetto
Keep your heads
To the stars

Children of the ghetto
Always in the news
Talk less is their motto
And bitter are their blues
Deep inside the ghetto
There's a unity
Councils are for sorrows
Ever misery

Children of the ghetto
Keep your heads
To the stars...
