The Simple Truth A Child Is Born

            D  G            D
A child is born on a battlefield,
           F#m G             A
A soldier boy falls to his knees,
              G               F#m
And a woman cries in joy and pain,
              A       G      D
When will we live in peace again?

Verse 2:
            D  G                  
A child is born where the wild 
    D
wind blows,
              F#m G               
In a country torn from the south 
       A
to the north,
              G                F#m
And a family runs from day to day,
              A       G     Bm
When will we see our home again?

Chorus:
              G               F#
When will we see the simple truth,
           Bm                  G
The only thing that's worth a damn,

The life of a child is more than a 
 D  A
forest,
                Em7                
The life of a child is more than a 
 D  A
border,
            Bm  G  Em7  D  A
Could ever be.

Verse 3:
            D  G               D
A child is born in the desert sun,
        F#m  G          A
A tiny life has just begun,
               G                 
And a mother cries for her hungry 
  F#m
babe,
             A       G    D
When will I feed my boy again?

Verse 4:
            D  G                D
A child is born to an ordinary home,
         F#m  G              A
East or west, it could be anyone,
                     G          
But we all want to know, will my 
                  F#m
child survive to see the day,
         A         G     Bm
When we will be secure again?

Chorus:
              G               F#
When will we see the simple truth,
                Bm                 
That the only thing that's worth a 
 G
damn,
                Em7                
The life of a child is more than a 
 D  A
forest,
                Em7                
The life of a child is more than a 
 D  A
border,
                Em7             
The life of a child is more than 
    D  A
religion,
                Em7          
The life of a child is only a 
  D    A               Bm
heartbeat from eternity,
           G              Em7
