When a Child Is Born

(verse 1)
          C     G              C - 
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
F - C

             Am               G - 
A tiny star lights up way up high
F - G

       F               G          
All across the land, dawns a brand
      Em
 new morn
 Am            G    Dm      G7  
This comes to pass when a child 
    C
is born

(verse 2)
          C     G               C 
A silent wish sails the seven seas
- F - C

                      Am           
The winds of change whisper in the

trees
         F               G    
And the walls of doubt crumble, 
              Em
tossed and torn

(verse 3)
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

(verse 4)
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

(verse 5)
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

(verse 6)
          C     G              C -
