Laura Nyro Lyrics

Child in a Universe

Oh Star
shine on me

I'm just a grain in the universe
I come from the Earth
and the Earth is a grain
in the galaxy

can you send some peace on Earth
to a child of the universe
to a child of the universe

Oh Sun
there are planets at the top of the world
and hills and pastures under my feet
rocks and fish and worlds I may never see

I only live on Earth
I guess I'm just a child of the universe
I guess I'm just a child of the universe

Oh Moon
I saw your light on
it was getting late

can we talk awhile
you see I lost my smile
I just can't cope
I just can't relate

if you send some peace on Earth
send it to a child of the universe
send it to a child of the universe
to a child in a universe
send it to a child in a universe
to young children
