Universal Child chords by Annie Lennox

C
How many mountains must you face before you learn to climb.
C
I'm gonna give you what it takes, my universal child.

C
I'm gonna try to find a way to keep you safe from harm.
C
I'm gonna be a special place, a shelter from the storm.
G
And I can see you, you're everywhere, your portrait fills the sky.
C
I'm gonna wrap my arms around you, my universal child.

C

And when I look into your eyes, so innocent and pure.
C
I see the shadow of the things that you've had to endure.
C
I see the tracks of every tear that ran right down your face.
C
I see the hurt, I see the pain, I see the human race.
G
I can feel you, you're everywhere, shining like the sun.
C
And I wished to god that kids like you could be like everyone.

C
How many tumbles must it take before you learn to fly.
C
I'm going to help you spread your wings, my universal child.
C
I'm gonna try to find a way to keep you safe from harm.
C
We're gonna be a special place, a shelter from the storm.


G
I can feel you, you're everywhere shining like the sun.
C
And I wished to god that kids like you could be like everyone
