When a Child Was Born

When a Child Was Born - David Parkes

A way of hope flickers in the sky

A tidy star lights up way apart

All across the land dance a brand new mourn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish save the seven seas

The wind of change whisper in the trees

And the walls of doubt crumble toss and fall

This comes to pass when a child is born

Rosy dawn settles all around

Got the feel your arms out the ground

For a spell of true no one's seems so long

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

The child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter

Hate to love

Was to peace

And everyone to everyones neighbor

And misery and suffering will words to be forgotten

Forever

So I pray I don't loose you now

It must come true sometime soon somehow

All across the land dance a brand new mourn

This comes to pass when a child is born
