Here's the story bout a ghetto girl<br>Livin' in a ghetto world<br>Against the world alone<br>Problems in her ordinary life<br>Make you wanna run and hide<br>She can never get it right<br><br>Like the seasons when they change<br>Nothing ever stays the same<br>Surrounded by pain and empty dreams<br><br>So I pray (I'm praying for a better day)<br>There's gotta be a better day<br>New day<br>Gotta be a better way<br>I'm tryna find a better way<br><br>See many times she didn't have a dime<br>When the bills would multiply<br>Contemplated suicide<br>And momma never had that special touch<br>Her daddy touched her way too much<br>Finally she had enough<br><br>Like the seasons when they change<br>Nothing ever stays the same<br>Surrounded by pain and empty dreams<br><br>And she's so alone<br>Living in the ghetto<br>I'm praying for a better day - oooooohhhhh<br>I'm tryna find a better place<br>Baby don't you cry<br><br>Hush little baby<br>Please don't you cry<br>Baby there's no need to cry<br>Just reach for the sky<br>Don't worry baby<br>You'll be alright<br>So learn to smile<br>Kiss your tears goodbye<br><br>She was a little ghetto child (I'm praying for a better day)<br>And then she turned her life around<br>Another day (I'm tryna find a better way)<br>And I gotta find another way<br>Baby don't you cry<br>Dry your eyes<br>You can spread your wings and learn to fly - high, high…..<br>(for a better day)<br>Baby dry your eyes (oh a better day)<br>You can spread your wing and learn to fly - high, so high…..<br>Baby don't you cry (I'm praying for a better day)<br>You can spread your wings and learn to fly - high, high…..<br>(her mother didn't have that touch, no, and daddy touch her way too much)<br>Baby dry your eyes<br>You can spread your wings and learn to fly - high, so high……<br><br>Said she gotta get outta the ghetto, oh yes…
