Child in a Universe
Child of the Universe: Embracing Peace and Wonder
Lyrics
Oh Star
Expressing awe or admiration for celestial bodies.
Shine on me
Requesting the stars to illuminate or guide.
I'm just a grain in the universe
Acknowledging insignificance in the vast universe.
I come from the Earth
Identifying Earthly origin.
And the Earth is a grain
Highlighting Earth's smallness in the cosmic scale.
In the galaxy
Placing Earth within the context of a larger galaxy.
Can you send some peace on Earth
Pleading for peace on Earth.
To a child of the universe
Referencing oneself as a child of the universe.
To a child of the universe
Reiterating the identity as a universal being.
Oh Sun
Addressing the Sun, a central celestial body.
There are planets at the top of the world
Describing diverse elements atop the world.
And hills and pastures under my feet
Enumerating natural features underfoot.
Rocks and fish and worlds I may never see
Mentioning various elements, some unknown.
I only live on Earth
Emphasizing existence limited to Earth.
I guess I'm just a child of the universe
Reaffirming the identity as a child of the universe.
I guess I'm just a child of the universe
Restating the notion of being a universal child.
Oh Moon
Directing attention to the Moon, another celestial body.
I saw your light on
Observing the Moon's illumination.
It was getting late
Noting the lateness of the hour.
Can we talk a while
Expressing a desire for communication with the Moon.
You see I lost my smile
Conveying a sense of lost joy or happiness.
I just can't cope
Expressing difficulty in dealing with challenges.
I just can't relate
Indicating a struggle to connect or empathize.
If you send some peace on Earth
Repeating the plea for peace on Earth.
Send it to a child of the universe
Extending the wish for peace to a universal child.
Send it to a child of the universe
Reiterating the desire for universal harmony.
To a child in a universe
Emphasizing the universality of childhood in the cosmos.
Send it to a child in a universe
Echoing the plea to bring peace to a child in the universe.
To young children
Extending the wish for peace to young children universally.
