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'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 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
