When A Child Is Born

A ray of hope flitters 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 have changed, whisper in the trees

And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy fume 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 waitin'

Waitin' for one child, black, white, yellow, no one knows

But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter

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

Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

It's all a dream and 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
