Born In A Ghetto Lyrics
Born in a ghetto, in a town with no name
Just wanted to tell you from where I came
Ev’ry day of my life I tried in vain
To rise above all the heartache and pain
In that land it was so hard to survive
I can’t believe that I got out alive
My life was full of worry and fear
I crossed that ocean to get here
I worked my fingers down to the bone
To be accepted here in my new home
The friends I made are now long gone
I try my best to keep on keeping on
But one thing that keeps me strong
Is humming the tune of that Gospel song
That Gospel song (listen HERE)
Learnt it at school or maybe before
Don’t know no other song no more
That song is stitched inside of my brain
I remember it like I remember my name
Never went to church or to Sunday School
Never broke the law, always played by the rules
Always tried my best to be true
And tell the truth when people didn’t want me to
And the thing that kept me strong
Was humming the tune of that Gospel song
It’s funny what you know and what you forget
All those people you forgot you once met
And all those times from your past
You thought wouldn’t end, would forever last
Do I miss the land from where I came?
It’s a part of me just the same
They say ‘Don’t look back, it’s no good’
But I wouldn’t go back, even if I could
But I wouldn’t go back, even if I could
I remember that song carried on the air
You could hear it wherever you went everywhere
Thinking of it helps me to keep strong
Helps me to get along, to keep on keeping on
The thing that keeps me strong
Is humming the tune of that Gospel song
The thing that keeps me strong
Is humming the tune of that Gospel song
I’m humming the tune of that Gospel song
Is humming the tune of that Gospel song
