When A Child is Born

	C	G	C	F	C
A ray of	hope f	lickers in the	sky

	Am	G	F	G
A tiny star l	ights up way up h	igh

	F	G	Em	Am
All acr	oss the land, da	wns a brand new m	orn

	G	C	D	G
This comes to p	ass	when a	child is b	orn

	C	G	C	F	C
A silent w	ish sa	ils the seven se	as

	Am	G	F	G
The winds of change wh	isper in the t	rees

	F	G	Em	Am
And the w	alls of doubt cr	umble, tossed and t	orn

	G	C	D	G
This comes to pa	ss w	hen a ch	ild is b	orn

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

( Spoken over verse chords )

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

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

	C	G	C	F	C
A ray of h	ope fl	ickers in the s	ky

	Am	G	F	G
A tiny star l	ights up way up h	igh

	F	G	Em
All acr	oss the land, da	wns a brand new m	orn

	Am	G	Dm	G7	C
T	his comes to p	ass w	hen a ch	ild is b	orn
