Christmas in the Ghetto (Boye) Songtext
von Awesome

As little Joe looked up into the Sky
He was amazed at how the stars Helped to radiate the sky
It made him understand that he Too had a place in the world
If he could help to be a light to Others

There′s a lonely boy
In the corner of the street
With nothing to eat,
His name is Little Joe
He is worn out,
He's been begging all day
So he sits to rest his feet


But then as he looks up
Into the dark sky
It makes him realize that he′s Not alone
He hears a whisper
Through the cool breeze
That makes him jump to his Knees and say,
Father don't leave me please
Because it's Christmas,
It′s Christmas
It′s Christmas in the ghetto
Oh, it's Christmas in the ghetto

Now he′s smiling as the church Bells start ringing
And the street choirs begin Softly singing
You should see Little Joe,
He's not worn out
He′s just caught up in the spirit Of Christmas

And then when he looks up Into the dark skies
It makes him realize
That he's not alone
He hears a whisper
Through the cool breeze
That makes him jump to his Knees and say,
Father don′t leave me please
Because it's Christmas,
It's Christmas
Christmas in the ghetto
Because it′s Christmas in the Ghetto


Little Joe sees things a little Different now
Lying, robbing, stealing is no More on his mind
He′s caught up in the goodness Of life
Yeah, you should see
Little Joe now

From this day on
Little Joe's Christmas will Never be the same
Merry Christmas, Little Joe
Merry Christmas

Oh, it′s Christmas
I said it's Christmas
Oh, it′s Christmas in the ghetto
Oh, it's Christmas in the ghetto
