When A Child Is Born

Tom: C

Verso 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  
 
Verso 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  

Verso 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  
 
Verso 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  

Verso 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 

Verso 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
