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 bornA 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 bornA 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 bornAnd 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
