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
whispers 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've got to feel,
you're on solid ground
For a spell or 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
will turn 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
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
La, la la la, la la la, la la
La, la la la, la la la, la la
La, la la la, la la la, la la
La, la la la, la la la, la la
