Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

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 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
