Down-play your ego
Open your heart
Don’t doubt your self-worth
Not if you’re smart
Don’t think twice
You’re a gift that was given for life
You have something in you
Unique to impart
To some-one quite near you
Who’ll gain from the pearls of your heart
Don’t think twice
You’re a gift that was given for life
Chorus
(‘Cause) you’re a Child of the Universe
No-one can take that away
(Yes) you’re a Child of the Universe
A fact that is here to stay (day-by-day)
Don’t look for answers
Look up to the stars
And see your reflection, from Pluto to Mars
Don’t think twice
You’re a gift that was given for life
Chorus
(‘Cause) you’re a Child of the Universe
No-one can take that away
(Yes) you’re a Child of the Universe
A fact that is here to stay (day-by-day)
(Harmonica Solo)
Don’t look for answers
Look up to the stars
And see your reflection, from Pluto to Mars
Don’t think twice
You’re a gift that was given for life
Chorus (repeat to fade)
(‘Cause) you’re a Child of the Universe
No-one can take that away
(Yes) you’re a Child of the Universe
A fact that is here to stay (day-by-day)
