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
my sister played this to death glad to see that after 40 years only the countries have changed now Syria , Yemen , Burma. show how far we have come sad song still sad
