Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna put my whole
World in your hands
I have to put my whole
World in your hands
In your hands
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I've had to put my whole
World in your hands
I'm gonna put my whole
World in your hands
In your hands
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
You've got my whole
World in your hands
I'd like to put my whole
World in your hands, hey
[Verse 8]
I'm gonna put my whole
World in your hands
I'd like to put my whole
World in your hands
In your hands
