In Your Hands

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 18 months And still I'm not allowed And every time you promise me: "Not much longer now" I've had to put my whole world In your hands I'm gonna put my whole world In your hands In your hands Hey, hey, oho Listen, listen to me Mister! Mister! You say you're trying But don't you know my brother's dying You say "it won't be long" But why am I so cursed For where I am born? I know 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 In your hands
