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 wall of doubt crumbles dust and torn This comes to pass when the child is born The rosy view 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 this happens because the world is waiting Waiting for one child Black, white, yellow No one knows This child who will grow up and turn tears to laughter Hate to love War to peace And everyone to everyone's neighbour And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten forever For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn This comes to pass when a child is born It's all a dream an illusion now It must come true sometime soon somehow And all across the land dawns a brand new morn This comes to pass when a child is born This comes to pass when a child is born This comes to pass when a child is born This comes to pass when a child is born
