	        (verse 1)  
               C     G                    C - F - C    
A ray of hope flickers in the sky   
          Am                             G  
A tiny star lights up way up high   
       F                       G                             Em  
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn  
Am                  G       Dm      G7       C -F-C 
This comes to pass when a child is born   
  
  
(verse 2)  
             C     G                      C - F - C    
A silent wish sails the seven seas   
                                   Am                  G  
The winds of change whisper in the trees   
              F                      G                             Em   
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn   
Am                   G     Dm        G7      C -F-C 
This comes to pass when a child is born   
  
  
(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 - F - C    
A ray of hope flickers in the sky   
          Am                            G  
A tiny star lights up way up high   
       F                      G                              Em  
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn   
Am                  G      Dm        G7       C -F-C 

This comes to pass when a child is born
