(verse 1) 
          C5     G5              C5 - F5 - C5   
A ray of hope flickers in the sky  
             A5               G5 - F5 - G5 
A tiny star lights up way up high  
       F5               G5                E5 
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn 
 A5            G5    D5      G5      C5 
This comes to pass when a child is born  
 
(verse 2) 
          C5     G5               C5 - F5 - C5   
A silent wish sails the seven seas  
                      A5            G5 - F5 - G5 
The winds of change whisper in the trees  
         F5               G5                  E5  
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn  
A5              G5   D5      G5      C5   
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) 
          C5     G5              C5 - F5 - C5   
A ray of hope flickers in the sky  
             A5               G5 - F5 - G5 
A tiny star lights up way up high  
       F5               G5                E5 
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn 
 A5            G5    D5      G5      C5 
This comes to pass when a child is born
