Kenny Rogers - A soldier's king

^CNo one seemed to notice the ^Amman beside the ^Croad He was ^Fjust a ragged soldier ^Dmout there in the ^G7cold But he ^Cseemed to have a purpose ^Amonly known to ^Fhim As he ^Cwalked along the streets that night ^G7through the town of Bethle^Chem

In his head he held a memory of ^Amall the wars he'd ^Cknown In his ^Fhand he clutched a medal ^Dmfor the bravery he'd ^G7shown And the ^Cweight of every battle he ^Amcarried in his ^Fheart But his ^Ceyes were clear and searching ^G7for a manger in the ^Cdark

Some are ^Amborn to ^Cgreatness ^Fsome are born to ^Cfall Some are ^Ambound to be for^Cgotten like they ^Fnever lived at all But we're ^Amall born to ^G7know Him and ^Cstand before His ^Flight Like the soldier who ^G7found his king to^Cnight

He had marched for politicians ^Amserved under their ^Ccommand And he ^Ffought for all the causes that ^Dmhe did not under^G7stand But it was ^Csomething deep inside him now ^Amthat led him on his ^Fway With a ^Csingle star to guide him to ^G7were the baby ^Clay

Some are ^Amborn to ^Cgreatness ^Fsome are born to ^Cfall Some are ^Ambound to be for^Cgotten like they ^Fnever lived at all But we're ^Amall born to ^G7know Him and ^Cstand before His ^Flight Like the soldier who ^G7found his king to^Cnight

He stood before the Son of God ^Amcome to pay our ^Cdebt He ^Fsmiled up at the soldier that the ^Dmworld would soon ^G7forget So he ^Cheld out his medal and ^Amsaid this for you I ^Fbring ^CThere he swore allegiance to the ^G7newborn baby ^Cking

Some are ^Amborn to ^Cgreatness ^Fsome are born to ^Cfall Some are ^Ambound to be for^Cgotten like they ^Fnever lived at all But we're ^Amall born to know Him and ^Cstand before His ^Flight Like the soldier who ^G7found his king to^Fnight
