Child Of The Universe (US Single Version) - Barclay James Harvest

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
