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 slient wish sails the seven seas

the winds of change whisper in the trees.

And the walls of doubt

crumble tost and torn.

This comes to pass

when a child is born.

And all of this happens because the world is

waiting

waiting for a child.

Black

white

yellow

no one knows

but a child

that will grow up.

And turns tears to laughter

hate to love

war to peace.

And everyone to everyone''''s neighbour and misery

and suffering

will be words to be forgotten

forever.
