Dm Dm Dm Am Dm Dm

Dm
I traveled darkness,
Dm                      Am             Dm
I traveled darkness in search for the light.
         Gm
But no star was ever rising.
                Dm
Will it rise tonight,
                Dm
Will it rise tonight?

    Dm                    Dm
No wisemen’s wisdom, out here on the street.
  (humm)                (humm)
     Dm
No shepherd to talk to,
   (humm)
  Am          Dm       Am           Dm     Dm
 No   angels singing. No    angels singing.
(humm)      (humm)   (humm)       (humm)

Dm                  Dm
I traveled darkness,
Dm                      Am             Dm        Am             Dm
I traveled darkness in search for the light.
                                            (In search for the light.)
         Gm
But no star was ever rising.
                Dm             Am     Dm
Will it rise tonight?
                     (Will it rise tonight?)

    Dm                    Dm
No wisemen’s wisdom, out here on the street.
  (humm)                (humm)
     Dm
No shepherd to talk to,
   (humm)
  Am          Dm       Am           Dm     Dm
 No   angels singing. No    angels singing.

Your candles are burning,

A seat at your table, a sip of your wine.

I am a king in a beggar’s disguise.
