when a child is born

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 of change whisper in the trees
and the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn,
this comes to pass when a child is born.
it's all a dream, an 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.
when a child is born.
