James Harvest Barclay Child Of The Universe 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 T.V. every night
Always there to join in someone else's fight.
I never asked to be born
And I don't ask to die
I'm an endless dream
A dream 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 T.V. every day
I'm the child next door three thousand miles away.
(Repeat once)
