ray of hope flickers in the sky
 tiny star lights up way up high
 All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
 [bad word] to pass when a child is born

silent wish sails the seven seas
 The winds of change whisper in the trees
 And the walls of doubt [bad word]  tossed and torn
 [bad word] to pass when a child is born

rosy hue settles all around
 You’ve got the feel you’re on solid ground
 For a spell or two, no-one seems forlorn
 [bad word] 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 [bad word] [bad word]  sometime soon somehow
 All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
 [bad word] to pass when a child is born
