G D G-C-G A ray of hope flickers in the sky Em D-C-D A tiny star lights up way up high

All a^Ccross the land, ^Ddawns a brand new ^Bmmorn ^EmThis comes to ^Dpass ^Amwhen a ^D7child is ^Gborn

G D G-C-G A silent wish sails the seven seas Em D-C-D The winds of change whisper in the trees

And the ^Cwalls of doubt ^Dcrumble, tossed and ^Bmtorn ^EmThis comes to ^Dpass ^Amwhen a ^D7child is ^Gborn

G D G-C-G A rosy hue settles all around Em D-C-D You've got the feel you're on solid ground

For a spe^Cll or two, ^Dno-one seems for^Bmlorn ^EmThis comes to ^Dpass ^Amwhen a ^D7child is ^Gborn

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 G D G-C-G It's all a dream, an illusion now Em D-C-D It must come true, sometime soon somehow

All a^Ccross the land, ^Ddawns a brand new ^Bmmorn ^EmThis comes to ^Dpass ^Amwhen a ^D7child is ^Gborn
