Lyrics Child of the Universe (Live) - Barclay James Harvest

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
