When a Child Is Born
Benton Brook Lyrics

A ray of hope flitters in the sky
With the birth of a child, hope is renewed and a promising future seems possible.

A shiny star lights up way up high
The hope and promise for the future is represented by the shining light of a star.

All across the land dawns a brand new morn
With the birth of a child comes a new beginning and a fresh start for everyone.

This comes to pass when a child is born
All of these changes and promises for a better future become a reality when a child is born.

A silent wish sails the seven seas
Many people around the world have hopes and dreams for the future and the birth of a child represents the possibility of those wishes coming true.

The winds have changed whisperin the trees
The winds of change are blowing and the world is transformed by the birth of a child.

And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
All doubts and fears about the future are erased and forgotten with the birth of a child, leaving only hope and promise.

A rosy fume settles all around
With the birth of a child, a sense of joy and happiness permeates the atmosphere, filling everyone with positive emotions.

You've got the feel you're on solid ground
The birth of a child brings stability and grounding, making people feel more secure and certain about the future.

For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn
The birth of a child brings a temporary sense of joy and happiness to everyone, with no one feeling sad or lonely for a brief time.

And all of this happened
The world-changing effects and promises of hope, love, and peace discussed in the song have all come to pass.

Because when world is waiting
The positive changes and sense of hope come about specifically because the world was waiting for the birth of a special child.

Waiting for one child
The hope and promise of a better future is specifically tied to the birth of one child, who will go on to make a significant difference in the world.

Black, white, yellow, no one knows
The identity, ethnicity, or race of the child who will bring about these changes is unknown and unimportant - all that matters is the hope and promise that comes with their birth.

But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter
The child who is the subject of the hope and promise discussed in the song will grow up to make people happy and erase sorrow and pain.

Hate to love, war to peace
The birth of this special child will transform the world from a place of hate and war to one of love and peace.

And everyone to everyone's neighbor
The birth of this special child will make everyone feel connected and united as neighbors, erasing divisions and differences.

Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever
The changes and hope brought about by the birth of this special child will transform the world so much that people will no longer remember the pain and suffering of the past.

It's all a dream and illusion now
The dream and hope of a better future brought about by the birth of this special child may seem like a fantasy now, but it will become reality in time with their deeds and actions.

It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
The hope and promise of a better future must come true, and though it may not be immediate, it will happen through the actions of the child who was born.

When a child is born
All of the transformation and hope discussed in the song comes about solely through the birth and future actions of a special child.
