VERSE
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
BRIDGE
Cause I am a child of the universe
Cause I am a child of the universe
You can see me on the TV every night
Always there to join in someone elses fight
I never asked to be born and I never asked to die
I'm an endless dream, a gene machine the cannot reason why
Cause I am a child of the universe
Cause I am a child of the universe
You can see me on the TV every day
I'm the child next door three thousand miles away
REPEAT INTRO - VERSE - BRIDGE - Chorus
(8 times)
You can see me on the TV every day
I'm the child next door three thousand miles away
