英文乡村歌曲：When A Child Is Born-Johnny Mathis

Ah... ah... ah...
Ah... ah... ah...
A ray of hope flickers¹ 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 crumble² tossed and torn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.
A rosy³ dawn settles all around
You 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 some time soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born.
