Here's the story 'bout a ghetto girl
Livin' in a ghetto world
Against the world alone

Problems in her ordinary life
Make you wanna run and hide
She can never get it right

Like the seasons when they change
Nothin' ever stays the same
Surrounded by pain and empty dreams

So I pray there's gotta be a better day
(I'm prayin' for a better day)
New day, gotta be a better way
(I'm tryna find a better way)

See many times she didn't have a dime
When the bills would multiply
Contemplated suicide

And mom and dad never had that special touch
Daddy touched her way too much
Finally she had enough

Like the seasons when they change
Nothin' ever stays the same
Surrounded by pain and empty dreams

And she's so alone livin' in the ghetto

I'm tryna find a better place
Baby, don't you cry

Hush little baby, please don't you cry
Baby, there's no need to cry
Just reach for the sky

Don't worry baby, you'll be alright
So learn how to smile
Kiss your tears goodbye

(I'm prayin' for a better day)
She was a little ghetto child
And then she turned her life around another day
(I'm tryna find a better way)
And I gotta find another way

Baby, don't you cry, you can spread your wings
And learn to fly high, high
Baby, dry your eyes, you can spread your wings
And learn to fly high, so high

Baby, don't you cry, you can spread your wings
And learn to fly high, high
Baby, dry your eyes, you can spread your wings
And learn to fly high, so high

Said she gotta get outta the ghetto
Oh yes
