I grew up to be myself
Still I feel there's something else
Look at all the satellites
Get lighter in the sky

We meet and we divide
The patterns made by human life
Look at all the stars tonight
They're brighter in the sky

Together we are all alone
All trying to make it home

CHORUS:
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And the only thing you are is a child of the universe
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And with everything my freedom's worth
I'll be a child of the universe

I am brave but I am scared
I am lonely but I'm prepared
We are all connected
Without knowing who we are

Together we all roll on a stone
All trying to make it home

CHORUS:
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And the only thing you are is a child of the universe
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And with everything my freedom's worth
I'll be a child of the universe

CHORUS:
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And the only thing you are is a child of the universe
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And with everything my freedom's worth
I'll be a child of the universe
I'll be a child of the universe
Child of the universe
