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
