1. A ray of hope
flickers in the sky,
Am G (FG)
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
this comes to pass when a child is born.

2. A silent wish sails
the seven seas,
Am G (FG)
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
this comes to pass when a child is born.

3. A rosy dawn
settles all around,
Am G (FG)
you got the feeling, you`re on solid ground,
F G Em
for spell or two no-one seems forlorn,
Am G
Dm G7 C
this comes to pass when a child is born.

4. ( spoken) It`s all
a dream and illusion now,
Am G (FG)
it must come true, sometime soon somehow,
F
G Em
all across the land dawns a brand-new
morn,
Am G
Dm G7 C
this comes
to pass when a child is born.
