Caught in the rays of rising sun, On the run, from the soldier's gun
Shouting out loud from the angry crowd, the mild, the wild and the hungry child

There was more, more than the singing voices, More than the up turned faces
ADE/G# / A / B7 / C#m / B7 / C#m / DE/G#A / B7 / C#m
And more than the shining eyes, But it's more than the shining eye
More than the steaming green, More than the hidden hills

More than the concret christ, More than a distant land, over a shining sea

More than the a hungry child, More like another time, Born of a million years, More than a million years
