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
