Universal Child

Universal Child - Annie Lennox/African Children's Choir

Lyrics by：Annie Lennox

Composed by：Annie Lennox

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 be a special place

A shelter from the storm

And I can see you you're everywhere

Your portrait fills the sky

I'm gonna wrap my arms around

You my universal child

And when I look into your eyes

So innocent and pure

I see the shadow of the things

That you've had to endure

I see the tracks of every 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 you're everywhere

Shining like the sun

I wished to God that kids like

You could be like everyone

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 find a way

To keep you safe from harm

We're gonna be a special place

A shelter from the storm

I can feel you you're 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
