James Harvest Barclay - Child Of The Universe lyrics

I'm a child

Of South Africa

I'm a child

Of Vietnam.

I'm a child

Of Northern Ireland

I'm a small boy

With blood on his hands.

Yes, I'm a child

Of the universe

Yes, I'm a child

Of the universe

You can see me on the T.V. every night

Always there to join in someone else's fight.

I never asked to be born

And I don't ask to die

I'm an endless dream

A dream machine that

Cannot reason why.

Yes, I'm a child

Of the universe

Yes, I'm a child

Of the universe

You can see me on the T.V. every day

I'm the child next door three thousand miles away.

(Repeat once)
