When A Child Is Born Original Version lyrics

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 of 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`ll 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, an 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.
