Child Of The Universe (Remake For Planned U.S. Single) Songtext / Lyric

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 TV every night

Always there to join in someone else's fight



I didn't ask to be born

And I don't ask to die

I'm an endless dream

A gene 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 every day

I'm the child next door three thousand miles away



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 TV every night

Always there to join in someone else's fight



I didn't ask to be born

And I don't ask to die

I'm an endless dream

A gene 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 every day

I'm the child next door three thousand miles away
