Mother I´ve gotta get out of here So I can save our family From this poverty And when I make my money I´ll send it back to you
Father Give me strength I pray I have to end this misery It´s causing too much pain I´m gonna look for richer lands Where the money´s made
I´m gonna put my whole world In your hands I have to put my whole world In your hands In your hands
Mister Please let me work somehow You´ve kept me waiting eighteen months And still I´m not allowed And everytime you promise me : "Not much longer now "
I have to put my whole world In your hands I´m gonna put my whole world In your hands In your hands Listen to me listen to me
Mister Mr ! You say you´re trying But don´t you know my mother´s dying You say "It won´t be long"
But why am I so cursed For where I am born ?
You´ve got my whole world In your hands I´ve had to put my whole world In your hands I´m gonna put my whole world In your hands I´ve had to put my whole world In your hands
