verse 1: 
            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                      D 
A child is born where the wild wind blows, 
              F#m G                      A 
In a country torn from the south to the north, 
              G                F#m 
And a family runs from day to day, 
              A       G     Bm 
When will we see our home again? 

G F# When will we see the simple truth, Bm G The only thing that's worth a damn, Em7 D A The life of a child is more than a forest, Em7 D A The life of a child is more than 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 F#m And a mother cries for her hungry 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 F#m But we all want to know, will my child survive to see the day, A G Bm When we will be secure again?
G F# When will we see the simple truth, Bm G That the only thing that's worth a damn, Em7 D A The life of a child is more than a forest, Em7 D A The life of a child is more than a border, Em7 D A The life of a child is more than religion, Em7 D A Bm The life of a child is only a heartbeat from eternity, G Em7 D A We must believe, for the sake of humanity, G Em7 D A Bm G Em7 D A Bm G We must believe!!! Em7 D A Bm G Em7 D A G For the sake of humanity, we must believe.
