Am
Mother,
I've gotta get out of here
So I can save our family
From this poverty
                   F
And when I make my money
                     Am
I'll send it back to you

Am
Father,
Give me strength, I pray
I have to end this misery
It's causing too much pain
                   F
I'm gonna look for richer lands
                  Am
Where the money's made

                  C     G
I'm gonna put my whole world
        Am
In your hands
                  C     G
I have to put my whole world
        F
In your hands
        Am
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 have to put my whole world
In your hands
I'm gonna put 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 father'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
