When A Child Is Born - Johnny Mathis
la...la ...
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 wind of change
whisper in the trees.
And the walls of doubt,
crumble tost and torn.
This comes to pass,
when a child is born.
A rosy hue settles all around,
You got the feel
You’re on solid ground,
For a spell of 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 turns tears to laughter,
hates to love, war to peace.
And everyone to everyone's neighbour 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, sometime how.
All across the land,
dawns a brand new morn.
This comes to pass,
when a child is born.
