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

Chorus:

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
