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.
