I die, you die, softly and so alive
No one else has seen me cry, ghetto child
I hear you breathing, see your heart beating
Promise this time the dreams are on me, ghetto child
Driven like the lambs, hiding from the hands
She breathes, she breathes, she breathes
When out the door she slams for no one understands
She breathes, she breathes, she breathes, breathes a ghetto child
Paper flowers so gray and golden
Scent the circus of your soul, ghetto child
A book of pictures with no words for it
Something's scribbled in the snow, ghetto child
Child born after Coltrane died but before that one small step
Relieved when no one realized
That's as high as man could get
You'll never take a bigger step than a ghetto child
