Kenny Rogers - When a Child is Born lyrics

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

A rosy hue settles all around
You 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 will grow up
And 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

This comes to pass when a child is born
Is born is born
