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  tost  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
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
