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 of 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'll 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, 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.
