(words and music – Helena Hettema –1997 London) I am a child of the universe
citizen of Mother Earth.

1:Chorus:
Open all the borders
burn all the passports
tear up the paper money
…Let in the sun 2 x I am a child …earth.

2:Chorus:
Clear away all the debris
Tear down the gates of fears and jeers
Feel the spirit in the trees and the seas
…let in the sun 2 x I am a child …earth.

3:Chorus:
Let’s get rid of all those toothpaste smiles
Let’s say our say, be lights of love
Let’s let our hearts be kites of love
…let in the sun 4:Chorus Let the children laugh and the animals run
Let’s say our say, be lights of love
Let’s let our hearts be kites of love
…let in the sun
I am a child …earth.

5: Chorus
Let’s again look long in each other’s eyes
in each others arms, let’s sigh, let’s cry
Let’s let mother earth give rebirth
…let in the sun 3x
