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´ve to put my whole world
In your hands
You´ve got 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 brother´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
In your hands.
