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 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 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 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
