C Am C
No one seemed to notice the man beside the road
F Dm G7
He was just a ragged soldier out there in the cold
C Am F
But he seemed to have a purpose only known to him
C G7 C
As he walked along the streets that night through the town of Bethlehem
Am C
In his head he held a memory of all the wars he'd known
F Dm G7
In his hand he clutched a medal for the bravery he'd shown
C Am F
And the weight of every battle he carried in his heart
C G7 C
But his eyes were clear and searching for a manger in the dark
Am C F C
Some are born to greatness some are born to fall
Am C F
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
Am G7 C F
But we're all born to know Him and stand before His light
G7 C
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
Am C
He had marched for politicians served under their command
F Dm G7
And he fought for all the causes that he did not understand
C Am F
But it was something deep inside him now that led him on his way
C G7 C
With a single star to guide him to were the baby lay
Am C F C
Some are born to greatness some are born to fall
Am C F
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
Am G7 C F
But we're all born to know Him and stand before His light
G7 C
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
Am C
He stood before the Son of God come to pay our debt
F Dm G7
He smiled up at the soldier that the world would soon forget
C Am F
So he held out his medal and said this for you I bring
C G7 C
There he swore allegiance to the newborn baby king
Am C F C
Some are born to greatness some are born to fall
Am C F
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
Am C F
But we're all born to know Him and stand before His light
G7 F
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
C G7 C
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
