Barclay James Harvest - Child of Man lyrics

Child of God was born today

The child of woman just slipped away

The Child of Man knelt down to pray

And the children of the earth

Didn't know it was the day of

Creation, creation, creation

One thousand years or maybe more

Since they first set eyes on that foreign shore

The grass was green and the water pure

They turned the key and opened the door to a Nation, nation, nation

Child of God says love your brother

Take him by the hand

Child of God says love your neighbour

Make him understand

Child of God says love your sister

Take her by the hand

Child of God says love your neighbour

Make him understand

All believers gather round

Press your faces to the ground

Lift your voices to the sound

Of all the others who have found

Salvation, salvation, salvation
