Chords with lyrics
C majorC A minorAm C majorC
No one seemed to notice the man beside the road
FF DmDm G7G7
He was just a ragged soldier out there in the cold
C majorC A minorAm FF
But he seemed to have a purpose only known to him
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
As he walked along the streets that night through the town of Bethlehem
A minorAm C majorC
In his head he held a memory of all the wars he'd known
FF DmDm G7G7
In his hand he clutched a medal for the bravery he'd shown
C majorC A minorAm FF
And the weight of every battle he carried in his heart
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
But his eyes were clear and searching for a manger in the dark
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
Some are born to greatness some are born to fall
A minorAm C majorC FF
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
A minorAm G7G7 C majorC FF
But we're all born to know Him and stand before His light
G7G7 C majorC
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
A minorAm C majorC
He had marched for politicians served under their command
FF DmDm G7G7
And he fought for all the causes that he did not understand
C majorC A minorAm FF
But it was something deep inside him now that led him on his way
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
With a single star to guide him to were the baby lay
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
Some are born to greatness some are born to fall
A minorAm C majorC FF
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
A minorAm G7G7 C majorC FF
But we're all born to know Him and stand before His light
G7G7 C majorC
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
A minorAm C majorC
He stood before the Son of God come to pay our debt
FF DmDm G7G7
He smiled up at the soldier that the world would soon forget
C majorC A minorAm FF
So he held out his medal and said this for you I bring
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
There he swore allegiance to the newborn baby king
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
Some are born to greatness some are born to fall
A minorAm C majorC FF
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
A minorAm C majorC FF
But we're all born to know Him and stand before His light
G7G7 FF
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
