感恩节必听歌曲:
When A Child Is Born 当圣婴降临
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 toss and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy hue settles all around
You got the feel, you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes 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 the 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 must come true sometime soon, some how
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
