A Boy From Nowhere
Tom Jones (Karaoke) Lyrics

The nights grow cold
As the evenings become colder, I feel more alone and isolated.

My search for gold is leading nowhere
Despite my efforts to achieve wealth or success, I am not making progress.

Whichever lonely road I take, it seems to go nowhere
No matter which direction I go, I cannot find my way to my desired destination or goal.

It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow
Every day is a battle to keep going, to keep living and striving for something better.

How can I display what I know I'm worthy of, when they turn me away
Despite my worth and value, I am rejected or ignored by those who could help me.

The doors are closed to such as I
I am not welcome or accepted in certain places or by certain people because of my background or status.

A boy from nowhere
I am an outsider, unknown or unimportant to the people around me.

But not to those who merely buy the right to go where they'll be met with respect, not humiliation
Some people can pay for privileges, respect, or treatment that is denied to others like me, who cannot afford it.

A man's place on earth, I have come to realize is decided by birth
Someone's status, opportunities, or place in society are predetermined by their family background or social class.

So what's the future, no matter where I go
Regardless of what the future holds, my past and present experiences have left a lasting impact on me.

I will still belong in Andalusia, where we don't know where the next penny's coming from
My home is a place of uncertainty, struggle, and hardship, where financial stability is always out of reach.

Something's wrong
I sense that there is something fundamentally flawed, unjust, or unfair about the world I live in.

I'm bound to Spain, I won't remain a boy from nowhere
Although I am from a humble or obscure background, I am determined to find my place in the world and make a name for myself.

There has to be a place for me, and I must go there
I refuse to accept that I am destined to remain obscure or unimportant, and I will seek out opportunities or places where I can succeed.

I don't fantasize, unlike a million others who must bow and scrape
I do not waste my time dreaming or hoping for imaginary scenarios, unlike others who feel powerless and subservient to the demands of the powerful.

For my one means of escape is to flourish a cape
The only way I can break free from my constraints or limitations is to create an illusion of grandeur or confidence, as if I am a hero or a champion.

I'll fight all odds and fight the Gods if they oppose me
I am willing to take on any challenge, no matter how difficult or insurmountable, and challenge even divine powers if necessary.

I have to win, I won't give in
I am driven by a relentless desire to succeed and overcome my obstacles, and I refuse to surrender or give up.

No one who knows me would expect me to fail for the want of trying
Those who know me are aware of my character and determination, and they know that I will put in my best effort and never give up easily.

Not a man alive had to beg or steal or fight more than me to survive
I have faced more difficulties, hardships, or obstacles than most people, and I have had to resort to desperate measures or actions to stay alive or achieve my goals.

Another dawn, another boy, a boy from nowhere
Every day brings a new challenge or a new obstacle, and I still feel like an outsider or a nobody.

My destiny will guarantee, and I must go there
I am certain that my fate or purpose in life is to achieve something great, and I am willing to go wherever I need to achieve it.

One more mouth to feed, and the way things are 'round here, that's the last thing they need
The people around me are struggling to survive and make ends meet, and adding one more person to their burden would only worsen their situation.
