When a Child Is Born lyrics

A ray of hope flickers in the sky

A tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land, dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas

The winds of change whisper in the trees

And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around

You've got the feel you're on solid ground

For a spell or two, no one seems forlorn

This comes to pass when a child is born

And all of this happens because the world is waiting,

Waiting for one child

Black, white, yellow, no one knows

But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter,

Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbor

And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever

It's all a dream, an illusion now

It must come true, sometime soon somehow

All across the land, dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born.
