A Boy Fom Nowhere lyrics

The nights grow cold,

My search for gold

Is leading nowhere

Whichever lonely road I take

It seems to go where

It`s a fight to survive just until tomorrow

How can I display

What I know I`m worthy of

When they turn me away



The doors are closed to such as I

A boy from nowhere

But not to those who merely buy

The right to go where

They`ll be met with respect,

Not humiliation.

A man`s place on earth

I have come to realize

Is decided by birth



So what`s the future

No matter where I go

I will still belong...

In Andalusia

Where we don`t know where

The next penny`s coming from

Something`s wrong



I`m bound to Spain,

I won`t remain

A boy from nowhere

There has to be

A place for me

And I must go there

I don`t fantasize unlike a million others

Who must bow and scrape

For my one means of escape

Is to flourish a cape.



I`ll fight all odds

And fight the Gods if they oppose me

I have to win

I won`t give in

No one who knows me

Would expect me to fail

For the want of trying

Not a man alive

Had to beg or steal or fight

more than me to survive



So what`s the future

No matter where I go

I will still belong...

In Andalusia

Where good honest men grow weak

and the rich grow strong

Something`s wrong



Another dawn, another boy

A boy from nowhere

My destiny will guarantee

And I must go there

It`s a fight to survive just until tomorrow

One more mouth to feed

And the way things are round here,

That`s the last thing they need.
