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. ( gesprochen) It's all a dream and illusion now, 
                       Am                  G    ( FG )
    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.
