Lilac Time (The)
Ghetto Child
I die, you dieSoftly and so aliveNo one else has seen me cryGhetto childI hear you breathingSee your heart beatingPromise this time the dreams are on meGhetto childDriven like the lambsHiding from the handsShe breathes, she breathes, she breathesWhen out the door she slamsFor no one understandsShe breathes, she breathes, she breathesBreathes a ghetto childPaper flowersSo grey and goldenScent the circus of your soulGhetto childA book of picturesWith no words for itSomething's scribbled in the snowSongtexteGhetto childChild born after Coltrane diedBut before that one small stepRelieved when no one realisedThat's as high as man could getYou'll never take a bigger stepThan a ghetto child
