Lyrics When A Child Is Born - Cliff Richard

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
And 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 hew settles all around
And you've got to feel that you're on solid ground
And for a spell of tune, no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

All of this happened when the worlds was waiting for that one child
And his colour didn't matter, he was born wise, meek and mild
And that child grew up and turned tears into laughter
Spoke only of peace and love ever after
And all because that child was born

It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, some time soon somehow
And 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
When a child is born
(A ray in a manger)
