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
In your hands
