Name: Children Of The Universe
Duration: P00H04M52S
Description: Well before I completed this song, the first stanza only had been in my head. The counterpoint stanza came later and gradually the combination began to come together. In my mind I have always heard this selection sung by a children's choir and feel it would be much better that way. But I have tried to capture that feeling in this version.

lyrics

Children Of The Universe

Children of the universe
In the Milky Way
Moonbeams by night
Sunshine all day

And so it has been
From the time of our birth
Here on this third planet
The one we call earth

(counterpoint)

Take my hand and walk with me
Help me gain the strength to be
Show me all the things you see
All the things that I can be
All my possibilities
Take my hand and walk with me

Children of the universe
In the Milky Way
Talk with your elders
Show them the way

Help them to see
Through eyes clear and bright
There’s always some sunshine
In the dark of the night

Say, the children in them
Never quite go away
If they’d only listen
They’d recall how to play

Say, the children in them
Still have something to say
If they’d only listen
If their hearts they’d obey

As a consequence, my head has always been full of tunes and my song-writing has flowed from that wealth of music as well as the rock and blues I have gravitated to as an adult. My inner child stays close by, so my creations are mostly for kids - of all ages. ... more
