When a Child Is Born

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 wind of change whispers in the trees

The walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue shimmers 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 who 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

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

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born
