[Verse 1]
         D    A               D 
A ray of hope flickers in the 
G/D D
sky
       D    G         D/F#   A 
A tiny star lights up way up

high
     G               A       A/G 
All across the land, dawns a 
      F#m
brand new morn
Bm            A    Em     A7    
This comes to pass when a child 
   D G/D D
is born

[Verse 2]
         D    A               D 
A silent wish sails the seven 
G/D D
seas
             D      G       D/F#  
The winds of change whisper in the

 trees
        G              A        
And the walls of doubt crumble, 
A/G        F#m
tossed and torn

[Verse 3]
       D   A               D G/D D
A rosy hue settles all around

You've got the feel you're on

solid ground
      G             A      A/G   
For a spell or two, no-one seems

   This comes to pass when a

[Verse 4]
*One set of verse chords play in the
 background*
N.C.
And all of this happens because the 
world is waiting,
N.C.
Waiting for one child
N.C.
Black, white, yellow, no-one knows
N.C.
But a child that will grow up and 
turn tears to laughter,
N.C.
Hate to love, war to peace and 
everyone to everyone's neighbour
N.C.
And misery and suffering will be 
words to be forgotten, forever

[Verse 5]
           D      A           D 
It's all a dream, an illusion 
G/D D
now
             D     G        D/F# 
It must come true, sometime soon 
    A Asus4 A
somehow
     G               A       A/G 
All across the land, dawns a 
      F#m
brand new morn
Bm            A    Em     A7    
This comes to pass when a child 
   D G/D D
is born
