Lyrics
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, yes)
Yes, I'm a child of the universe (yes, yes)
You can see me on the TV every day
I'm the child next door, three thousand miles away
