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 have changed, whisper in the trees
|
And the walls of doubt crumbled, tossed and torn
|
This comes to past 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 was 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 neighbor
|
Misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten forever
|
|
It's all a dream and 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.
