1. A ray of hope flickers in the sky,  
                 Am                G       (F 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   
    this comes to pass when a child is born. 
             C    G               C      F C 
2. A silent wish sails the seven seas,  
                          Am              G    ( F 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 
    this comes to pass when a child is born. 
           C    G            C      F C 
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. 
                                   C     G      C    F C 
4. ( gesprochen) It`s all a dream and illusion now,  
                       Am                  G    (F G) 
    it must come true, some time 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.
