Lyrics
A Boy From Nowhere
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 are met with respect, not humiliation
A man's place on earth
It's decided
So it seems
From his moment of birth
Is there a future?
No matter where I go I will still belong...
In Andalusia
Where we don't know
Where the next meal coming from
Something's wrong
With every dawn
A child is born
A boy from nowhere
What chance has he
A boy like me
Who'll only go where
It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow
One more mouth to feed
And the way things are round there,
That's the last thing they need
There is a future
No matter where I go I will still belong
In Andalusia
Where good honest men grow weak
While the rich grow strong
But not for long
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 refuse to be used a like million others
Not a man alive
Had to beg or steal or fight more than me to survive
