When a Child Is Born
Il Divo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Sebastien:]
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high

[Urs:]
All across the land dawns a brand new morn',
This comes to pass when a child is born.
[Carlos:]
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees

[David:]
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.

It's all a dream, an illusion now.
It must come true some time soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn',




This comes to pass when a child is born.
When a child is born.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Il Divo's "When A Child Is Born" convey hope and positivity for a new beginning. The song begins by emphasizing that even the tiniest light in the sky can generate hope. The lyrics advance to depict the beginning of a new day, portrayed by a new-born child. The child's birth symbolizes a fresh start not only for one's personal life, but also for the world as a whole.


As the song progresses, it transforms into a message of hope for the future. A new baby is likened to a silent wish that's whispered across the seven seas, reinforcing the notion of it being a message of hope for people everywhere. The winds of change are also personified as they work with the silent wish to bring wonderful new plans to life. Whenever a child is born, the fragile and delicate walls of doubt fall apart, and the once-tattered hope emerges into a powerful, growing force.


The final lines of the song capture the essence of hope and optimism - Yes, it's all a dream right now, but that dream will soon come true, as all across the land dawns a brand-new morn. The song finishes with the promise that every fresh start comes to pass when a child is born.

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny 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 of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon somehow
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
