Child of the Universe

Theo Simon


Once upon a sometime, and once upon a somewhere,
And once upon a somehow, there was a big bang.
Energy revolving, and energy dissolving
And energy evolving, and that’s what I am

I am as old as the universe, 
I’ve been here before, and I’ll be here again, 
I am a child of the universe,
A part of all women, and a part of all men

I’m a little flower, that blossoms for an hour
But in me there’s a power, that goes on and on,
Power in the roots of me, power in the shoots of me,
Power in the fruit, that will pass my seed on

I am as old as the universe, 
I’ve been here before, and I’ll be here again, 
I am a child of the universe,
A part of all women, and a part of all men

I am not a somebody, I am not a nobody
I’m a cell in one body filling all space,
All I ever could be, And all I ever should be
And all I ever will be, is here in this place
