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 of 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 hue settles all around
You 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 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 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 sometime soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
