Child of Light

Inspiration: "The Belgariad" by David Eddings

Sing along to the

Introduction: Em D C D Em with flute tune

Em          D
Who am I, a farmer’s boy
   C            B
No influence or wealth
   G                 Bm
To travel with these noble folk
    C             B
Who ride along in stealth
     Em             Bm
That voice I hear inside my head
   G                C
It talks of ancient times
    C                D              B           B7
And bids me seek the destiny that’s mine

 Em          D        Em
 Who is this child of light?
 Bm             C          Em
 Who will shine out of the darkness?
     C             D          Em
 And fight for the way of the right?

Repeat x 2, and then two bars of 4/4 on the Em before main riff

Will I ever understand
The task for which I’m born
I talk with kings and criminals
And still I know no more
That voice I hear inside my head
It calls me once again
And scares me when it tells me who I am

 You are the child of light
 You will shine out of the darkness
 And fight for the way of the right.

For many years the people here
Have waited for a sign
To find a king a Riva’s isle
The last one of his line
That voice I’ve heard throughout my life
A prophecy it seems
And a prophecy of which I am the means

 I am the child of light
 I will shine out of the darkness
 And fight for the way of the right
