I`m a child from 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 everynight
Always there to join in someone else`s fight.
I never asked to be born
I never asked 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 TV everynight:
I`m the child next door 3.000 miles away.
I`m a child from South Africa
I`m a child of Vietnam
. .
I never asked to be born
I never asked to die
. . .
You can see me on the TV every day:
I`m the child next door 3.000 miles away
