Answer 1

When a Child is Born
words and music by Roy Zimmerman and Melanie Harby
© 1990 Watunes (BMI) Motaters Music (ASCAP)
(From "PeaceNick")
** from the beginning **

Been a hard revolution
That brought you to me
I can tell you my bridges
Did not burn easily

In the ashes at midnight
Lie the colors I've worn

And the sun comes up
And the world is saved
When A Child Is Born


==================================

Charolotte Church
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.

A rosy dawn settles all around

You got to feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This come 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.
==================================

so which one are you talking about?

Answer 2

There wasn't a lot to go on, but I found results for Charlotte Church, Kenny Rogers, Il Divo, Roy Zimmerman, Smokie, and Darius.

I can't really narrow it down without additional lyrics

Answer 3

I thought it was Boney'M... at least as far as I can remember
