A Child Was Born

Archie Roach, 2004

Hush now, be still
Something's going to happen tonight
Oh it will
Be silent
Don't make a sound
Just look there upon this ground

And a child was born tonight
Breaking the stillness and the quiet
Shining in the pale moonlight
Oh a child was born tonight

Right there (x4)

She was born too soon
Rubbed in ashes, held up to the moon
Sweet breezes sigh
Listen to the baby cry

A child was born tonight
Breaking the stillness and the quiet
Shining in the pale moonlight
A child was born tonight

A child was born tonight
Breaking the stillness and the quiet
Shining in the pale moonlight
A child was born tonight

Right there (x4)
