Children of the Universe

Children of the Universe

Once there was a time we were stardust.
Once there was a time we weren’t here.
Spent our time in the heart of the divine.
Waiting for our chance to reappear.

The moment came – a breath of fresh air.
Starting our life with a birth.
A magic place to see, smell and taste.
Passenger on the planet earth.

(refrain)
We’re all children of the universe.
We all started out the same.
Treat this time like the gift that it is –
we all have so much more to gain.
Our garden is simply not as green.
The sky’s not as clearly blue.
Let’s make it better while we are here.
We have so much more to do.

(mid 8)
We’re just here for a hundred years.
Then return from whence we came.
We can make a difference on this sphere.
End all the suffering and the pain.
Peace should be a familiar friend.
It takes more than just a prayer.
Shouldn’t we strive to all get along?
Can’t we recall what we once shared?

(refrain)

Once there was a time...
(we were stardust)
