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 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
