A Soldier's King

(início)

Capo 3
C              C/B        Am             Am/G
None seemed to notice the man beside the road
       F             F/E     Dm               G
He was just a ragged soldier out there in the cold
       C                C/B     Am            Am/G
But he seemed to have a purpose only known to him
      C                                               G             C
As he walked along the streets that night through the town of Bethlehem
In his head he held a memory of all the wars he'd known
In his hand he clutched a medal for the bravery he'd shown
And the weight of every battle he carried in his heart
But his eyes were clear and searching for a manger in the dark
         Am      Am/G       F                C
Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
         Am             Am/G             F
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
          Am         Am/G         C                F
But we're all born to know Him and stand before His light
         F           G                C
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
He had marched for politicians, served under their command
And he fought for all the causes that he did not understand
But it was something deep inside him now that led him on his way
With a single star to guide him to were the baby lay
Chorus
He stood befor the Son of God come to pay our debt
He smiled up at the soldier that the world would soon forget
So he held out his medal and said this for you I bring
There he swore allegiance to the newborn baby king
Chorus
