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
