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
