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 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 would grow up and turn tears to laughter
 Hate to love, war to peace
 And everyone to everyone's neighbour
 Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever
 It's all a dream and illusion now
 It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
 All across the land dawns a brand new morn
 This comes to pass when a child is born
