Intro 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 INTRO Instrumental (8 times) You can see me on the TV every day I'm the child next door three thousand miles away
