When a Child Is Born — Johnny Mathis
Chords and lyrics for When a Child Is Born by Johnny Mathis (key of G).
Verse 1
A ray of [G]hope [D]flickers in the [G-C-G]sky
A tiny star [Em]lights up way up [D-C-D]high
All [C]across the land, [D]dawns a brand new [Bm]morn
[Em]This comes to [D]pass [Am]when a [D7]child is [G]born
A silent [G]wish [D]sails the seven [G-C-G]seas
The winds of change [Em]whisper in the [D-C-D]trees
And the [C]walls of doubt [D]crumble, tossed and [Bm]torn
[Em]This comes to [D]pass [Am]when a [D7]child is [G]born
A rosy [G]hue [D]settles all [G-C-G]around
You've got the feel [Em]you're on solid [D-C-D]ground
For a [C]spell or two, [D]no-one seems [Bm]forlorn
[Em]This comes to [D]pass [Am]when a [D7]child is [G]born
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
It's all a [G]dream, [D]an illusion [G-C-G]now
It must come true, [Em]sometime soon [D-C-D]somehow
All [C]across the land, [D]dawns a brand new [Bm]morn
[Em]This comes to [D]pass [Am]when a [D7]child is [G]born
