The Simple Truth A Child Is Born

(início)

            D  G            D
A child is born on a battlefield,
           F#m G             A
A soldier boy falls to his knees,
              G               F#m
And a woman cries in joy and pain,
              A       G      D
When will we live in peace again?
Verse 2:
            D  G                      D
A child is born where the wild wind blows,
              F#m G                      A
In a country torn from the south to the north,
              G                F#m
And a family runs from day to day,
              A       G     Bm
When will we see our home again?
Chorus:
              G               F#
When will we see the simple truth,
           Bm                  G
The only thing that's worth a damn,
                Em7                 D  A
The life of a child is more than a forest,
                Em7                 D  A
The life of a child is more than a border,
            Bm  G  Em7  D  A
Could ever be.
Verse 3:
            D  G               D
A child is born in the desert sun,
        F#m  G          A
A tiny life has just begun,
               G                   F#m
And a mother cries for her hungry babe,
             A       G    D
When will I feed my boy again?
Verse 4:
            D  G                D
A child is born to an ordinary home,
         F#m  G              A
East or west, it could be anyone,
                     G                            F#m
But we all want to know, will my child survive to see the day,
         A         G     Bm
When we will be secure again?
Chorus:
              G               F#
When will we see the simple truth,
                Bm                  G
That the only thing that's worth a damn,
                Em7                 D  A
The life of a child is more than a forest,
                Em7                 D  A
The life of a child is more than a border,
                Em7                 D  A
The life of a child is more than religion,
                Em7            D    A               Bm
The life of a child is only a heartbeat from eternity,
           G              Em7     D     A
