Universal Child

Universal Child - Annie Lennox (安妮·藍妮克絲)/African Children's Choir

How many mountains must you face before you learn to climb

I'm gonna give you what it takes my universal child

I'm gonna try to find a way to keep you safe from harm

I'm gonna build a special place a shelter from the storm

And I can see you everywhere your portrait fills the sky

I'm gonna wrap my arms 'round you my universal child

And when I look into your eyes so innocent and pure

I see the shadows of the things that you've had to endure

I see the tracks of ev'ry tear that ran right down your face

I see the hurt I see the pain I see the human race

And I can feel you everywhere shining like the sun

I wish to God that kids like you could be like ev'ryone

How many tumbles must it take before you learn to fly

I'm going to help you spread your wings my universal child

I'm gonna help you to find a way to keep you safe from harm

We're gonna build a special place a shelter from the storm

I can feel you ev'rywhere shining like the sun

I wish to God that kids like you could be like ev'ryone

And I wish to God that kids like you could be like ev'ryone
