When a child is born - howard carpendale
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
When a child is born
All across the land dawns a brand new morn'
This comes to pass when a child is born
