Melita — Child Of The Universe

    	    	Вступление

[Verse 1]

Dm                C
Here is a little history
               Dm
of a greater mystery
          Am
I have written this story

C       Dm
Into my young

                         C
If it isn't what you’re used to

                  Dm
And maybe if you choose to

                Am
And if it will amuse you

C
Then you’ll sing along


[Chorus]

Dm                        C
'Cause I am as old As the Universe
       Dm                        Am        Dm
I have been here before And I’ll be here again

       Dm           C
I am a child of the Universe
      Dm          C         Am         Dm
I am part of all women and part of all men.
             Am       C           Dm
part of all women and part of all men

[non-lexical singing]

Dm         C                      Dm
Lai larara lairai, Lai larara lairai. (x4)

[Verse 2]

Dm            C
Once upon a sometime and
      Dm
once upon a somewhere and
Am
once upon a somehow
C           Dm
there was a Big Bang.
C                            Dm
Energy revolving and energy dissolving
       Am
energy evolving and
Dm
that`s what I am.

Dm                        C
'Cause I am as old As the Universe....


[Verse 3]

Dm           C
I am just a flower that
                Dm
blossoms for an hour
                    Am
but in me there`s a power
C                  Dm
that blows on and off
Dm            C
Power in the roots of me
              Dm
power in the shoots of me
              C
power on the fruits that will
             Dm
pass my seed on.


[Chorus]

Dm                        C
'Cause I am as old As the Universe....


[Verse 4]

Dm         C
I am not a nobody
                 Dm
I am not just a somebody
            C
I`m a cell in one body
            Dm
filling all space.
                      C
and everthing I ever should be
                      Dm
and everything I ever would be
                 C
and everything I could be is
              Dm
here in this place.


[Chorus]

Dm                        C
'Cause I am as old As the Universe....
