Lyrics Brook Benton

Brook Benton

When A Child Is Born

A ray of hope flitters in the sky

A shiny 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 fume settles all around

Youve got the feel youre 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 happened

Because whe 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 everyones neighbour

Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

Its 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

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born

When a child is born
