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 rosey 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, 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   This comes to pass when a child is born, is born, is born
