when a child is born

This has always been one of my favourite Christmas songs, and Sinead O'Connor, one of my favourite singers, although i can't say i admire her (quite screwed-up) personal life as much as i admire and love her voice and singing ...
.
May the love of Christ find all of us this Christmas. God knows this world needs it.

.
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, crumbled, tossed, and torn --
This comes to pass when a Child is born.
.
A rosy hue settles all around.
You've got to feel you're on solid ground.
For a spell or two, no one seems forlorn --
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.
