Child Of The Universe Lyrics - Berlin: A Concert For The People - 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
