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 or 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 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
|
|
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
|
