Expect Nothing

One day my boy will all be yours
Everything what's still be mine
It's to be hoped that you can wait
Still waiting till the end of time
These words did a father say
Some weeks ago before he died
The son is surviving and knows
He gets all-cause the time is right
You must learn to expect nothing
Stay at home-it's cold outside
Everything has got the price
Try your luck but try to hide
Sell yourself as good as you can
Make the most of your talents
Will you learn to expect nothing
Take your fate into your hands
You must learn to expect nothing
Make the most of your talents
Will you learn to expect nothing
Take your fate into your hands
