    • Verse 1
    A 
    child 
    is 
    born 
    on 
    a battlefield, 

    A soldier 
    boy 
    falls 
    to 
    his 
    knees, 

    And 
    a 
    woman 
    cries 
    in 
    joy 
    and 
    pain, 

    When 
    will we 
    all 
    live 
    in 

    peace 
    again? 

    Verse 2

    A child 
    is 
    born 
    where 
    the 
    wild 
    wind 
    blows, 

    In 
    a 
    country 
    torn 
    from 

    the south 
    to 
    the north, 

    An
    d a 
    family 
    runs 
    from 
    day 
    to 
    day, 


    When 
    will we 
    see 

    our 
    home 
    again? 

    Verse 3

    When 
    will 
    we 
    see 
    that simple 
    truth, 

    That 
    the only 
    thing 
    that's 

    worth 
    a damn, 

    Verse 4

    The 
    life 
    of 
    a 
    child 
    is more 
    than 
    a 
    forest, 


    The life 
    of 
    a child 
    is 
    more 
    than 

    a 
    bor
    der
    , 

    Could 
    ever 
    be; 

    Verse 5
    A 
    child 
    is 
    born 

    in 
    the 
    desert 
    sun, 

    A 
    tiny 
    life 
    has 
    just 
    begun
    , 


    And 
    a mother 
    cries 
    for 

    her 
    hungry 
    babe, 

    When 
    will I 
    feed 
    my 
    boy 
    again? 

    Verse 6
    A 
    child 
    is 
    born 
    to 
    an 
    ordinary 
    home, 

    East 
    or 
    west, 
    it 
    could 
    be 
    any
    one, 

    But 
    we 
    all 
    want 
    to 
    know, 

    Will 
    my 
    child 
    survive 
    to 
    see 
    the 
    day, 

    When 
    we 
    will 
    be 
    secure 
    again? 

    Verse 7

    When 
    will 
    we 
    see 
    the 
    simple 
    truth, 

    That 
    the 
    only 
    thing 
    that's 

    worth 
    a damn, 

    Verse 8

    The life 
    of 
    a child 
    is 
    more 

    than 
    a 
    forest, 

    The 
    life 
    of 
    a 
    child 
    is 
    more 

    than 
    a 
    bor
    der, 

    The life 
    of 
    a child 
    is 
    more 

    than 
    re
    li
    gion, 

    The 
    life 
    of 
    a child 
    is 
    only 
    a 

    heartbeat 
    from 
    etern
    ity, 

    We 
    must 
    be
    lieve, 

    for 
    the 
    sake 
    of 
    hu

    We 
    must

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
