you can spread your wing and learn to fly high
She was a little ghetto child i m praying for a better day, dry your eyes
You can spread your wings and learn to fly high, surrounded by pain and empty dreams
she was a little ghetto child i m praying for a better day
You can spread your wings and learn to fly high, i m praying for a better day oooooohhhhh
Living in the ghetto, i m praying for a better day oooooohhhhh
please don t you cry
i m praying for a better day oooooohhhhh
And then she turned her life around, you can spread your wings and learn to fly high
and daddy touch her way too much
for a better day
she can never get it right
Baby dry your eyes, like the seasons when they change Better, like the seasons when they change
see many times she didn t have a dime
she can never get it right
Finally she had enough, baby dry your eyes
baby there s no need to cry
You ll be alright, said she gotta get outta the ghetto Day, surrounded by pain and empty dreams
kiss your tears goodbye
Her mother didn t have that touch, against the world alone, against the world alone
i m praying for a better day oooooohhhhh
You can spread your wings and learn to fly high, living in the ghetto
living in the ghetto
Like the seasons when they change, nothing ever stays the same, i m tryna find a better way
Against the world alone, livin in a ghetto world, livin in a ghetto world
