This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You're a child of the universe
Born to know all the joys and sorrows
Seems like your life was mine just yesterday
And mine will be yours tomorrow
Many things will amaze your eyes
Each day is learning there is more to come after
At days end you'll look at treasures you've sought
And find just a few that matter
I'll try to learn from your innocence
Before we take it all away
I'll try to save all I can
To give you back as you go on your way
You're a child of the universe
Born to know all the joys and sorrows
Seems like your life was mine just yesterday
And mine will be yours tomorrow
Born to know all the joys and sorrows
Seems like your life was mine just yesterday
And mine will be yours tomorrow
Many things will amaze your eyes
Each day is learning there is more to come after
At days end you'll look at treasures you've sought
And find just a few that matter
I'll try to learn from your innocence
Before we take it all away
I'll try to save all I can
To give you back as you go on your way
You're a child of the universe
Born to know all the joys and sorrows
Seems like your life was mine just yesterday
And mine will be yours tomorrow

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
