Charlie Winston - In Your Hands

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
