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 build a special place, a shelter from the storm
And I can see you, you're ev'rywhere, your portrait fills the sky
I'm gonna wrap my arms 'round you, my universal child
And when I look into your eyes, so innocent and pure
I see the shadows of the things that you've had to endure
I see the tracks of ev'ry 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 ev'rywhere, shining like the sun
I wish to God that kids like you could be like ev'ryone
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 to find a way to keep you safe from harm
We're gonna build 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
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 build a special place, a shelter from the storm
And I can see you, you're ev'rywhere, your portrait fills the sky
I'm gonna wrap my arms 'round you, my universal child
And when I look into your eyes, so innocent and pure
I see the shadows of the things that you've had to endure
I see the tracks of ev'ry 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 ev'rywhere, shining like the sun
I wish to God that kids like you could be like ev'ryone
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 to find a way to keep you safe from harm
We're gonna build 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
