When a Child Is Born (with Johnny Mathis)

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'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 bornIt'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
