Boney M. - When a Child Is Born Lyrics

A ray of hope flitters 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 have changed whisperin' 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 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

{And all of this happens
Because the world is waiting
Waiting for one Child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a Child that would grow up
And turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyone's neighbour
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever}

It's all a dream and illusion now
It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass
When a child is born
