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 waitin' eighteen months

And still I'm not allowed

And every time you promise me

Not much longer now, oh

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, oh, ooh

Listen, listen to me

Mister, mister you say you're tryin'

But don't you know my brother's dyin'?

You say it won't be long

But why am I so cursed

For where I, I'm born

You've got my whole

World in your hands

I'd like to put my whole

World in your hands, hey

I'm gonna put my whole

World in your hands

I'd like to put my whole

World in your hands

In your hands
