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 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 hill settles all around
You got to 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 would be forgotten, forever]
It's all a dream an illusion now
It must come true some time soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
