Lyrics of When a child is born

a ray of hope flitters in the sky
a shiny 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

(spoken)
and all of this happened
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

all across the land dawns a brand new morn
this comes to pass when a child is born

when a child is born
