  • 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 Writer/s: John Lees
