Lyrics

[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
