Child Of The Universe - 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

You can see me

On the TV every day

I'm the child next door

Three thousand miles away
