ray of hope flitters in the sky A shiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new mornin' This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas The winds have changed whisperin the trees

And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy fume 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 is 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 neighbour Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

It¡¦s all a dream and illusion now It must come true, sometimes soon somehow

All across the land dawns a brand new mornin' This comes to pass when a child is born

All across the land dawns a brand new morn This comes to pass when a child is born

When a child is born
