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 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'll 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, an 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.
