When a child is born Songtext

When a child is born
Howard Carpendale: „Piano in der Nacht (2)“
(engl. Fassung von „Tränen lügen nicht“)

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 rosy hue settles all around
You've got the feeling. You're on solid ground.
For a spell of two no one seems forlorn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.

The silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the words of doubt crumble, toss and torn
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 into laughter.
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyone's neighbor
And misery and suffering will be words
O be forgotten, forever.
It's all a dream, an illusion now.
It must come true sometimes soon somehow.
All across the land dawns the brand new morn'.
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.

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