When a Child Is Born Songtext

von John Holt

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 have 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 dawn settles all around,
You got to feel you're on solid ground.
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn,
This come to pass when a child is born.

And all of this happens,
Because the world is waiting.
Waiting for a child,
Black, white, yellow, who 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, and illusion now,
It must come true some time soon somehow.
All across the land dawns a brand new morn,
This comes to pass, when a child is born.

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 have change, whisper in the trees.
And the walls of doubt, crumble tossed and torn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.
