Words of the Ghetto

[Intro]
Woah-oh, good Lord
It is a word of a ghetto, oh no-no-no-no
It shouldn't really be this way

[Verse 1]
When I was in my darkest day, good Lord
You are the one who's always there
Lord, you take me off my load
Guide my footsteps along the road
But there is still one favor that I want to ask you
Before my song should end

[Chorus]
Have a little mercy on the children of the ghetto
Sometime they hunger and sometime they thirst
We need medication and they ain't got no nurse
Woah-oy, good Lord, it is a word of a ghetto

[Verse 2]
When I was down in the valley of destruction
It was you who brought me up, good Lord
And you did it with your mighty hand
But now I'm thankful for all of the things you've done
'Cause you made me in a bright man
But there is still one favor that I'd like to ask
Before my song should end (I say)

[Chorus]
Have a little mercy on the children of the ghetto
They hunger and they thirst
They need medication and they ain't got no nurse

[Bridge]
Woah-oy, good Lord, I cry to you
It is a word of a ghetto, woah-woah-oh
Oh Lord, I cry to your, woah-woah-woah

[Verse 3]
When I was in my darkest day, good Lord
You are the only one who was always there
I say, you get me off my load
You guide my footsteps along the road
But there is still one favor that I want to ask you
Before I end my song

[Outro]
Have a little mercy on the children of the ghetto
Say now, cure for hunger and a cure for thirst
And di great medication and a damn good nurse
I'm asking you, oh Lord
I really wanna ask you from the bottom of my heart
Woah-woah-oy, it is a word of a ghetto
It is a word of a ghetto, a but the thing, it can be better
Have a little mercy on the children of the ghetto
