Child Of The Universe

Barclay James Harvest

I'm a child of South Africa
I'm a child ofVietnam
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 Idon'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 ofVietnam
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 Idon'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
