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

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
