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
