[Verse 1]
I grew up to be myself
Still, I feel there's something else
Look at all the satellites colliding in the sky
We meet and we divide
The patterns made by human life
Look at all the stars tonight, they're writing in the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
Together we are all alone
All trying to make it home, home, 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

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
I am brave, but I am scared
I am lonely, but I'm prepared
We are all connected without knowing
Who we are

[Pre-Chorus]
Together we are rolling stones
All trying to make it home, home, 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 (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

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, child of the universe)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Instrumental Break]

[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 (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

[Outro]
I'll be a child of the universe
Child of the universe
