A Boy Fom Nowhere Lyrics

A Boy Fom Nowhere

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.
