Barclay James Harvest - Child Of The Universe lyrics

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 TV everynight

Always there to join in someone else's fight.

I never asked to be born

I never asked 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 TV everynight:

I'm the child next door 3.000 miles away.

I'm a child from South Africa

I'm a child of Vietnam

. .

I never asked to be born

I never asked to die

. . .

You can see me on the TV every day:

I'm the child next door 3.000 miles away
