When A Child Is Born


(verse 1)
          C     G              C - F - C  
A ray of hope flickers in the sky 
             Am               G - F - G
A tiny star lights up way up high 
       F               G                Em
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
Am            G    Dm      G7      C
This comes to pass when a child is born 


(verse 2)
          C     G               C - F - C  
A silent wish sails the seven seas 
                      Am            G - F - G
The winds of change whisper in the trees 
         F               G                  Em 
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn 
Am              G   Dm      G7      C  
This comes to pass when a child is born 


(verse 3)
A rosy hue settles all around 
You've got the feel you're on solid ground 
For a spell or two, no-one seems forlorn 
This comes to pass when a child is born 


(verse 4)
And all of this happens because the world is waiting 
Waiting for one child 
Black, white, yellow, no-one knows 
But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter 
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbour 
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever 


(verse 5)
It's all a dream, an illusion now 
It must come true, sometime soon somehow 
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn 
This comes to pass when a child is born


(verse 6)
          C     G              C - F - C  
A ray of hope flickers in the sky 
             Am               G - F - G
A tiny star lights up way up high 
       F               G                Em
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
Am            G    Dm      G7      C
This comes to pass when a child is born
