I'll never have the power to control the land

Or conquer half the world

Or claim the sun

I'll never be the kind who simply waves her hand

And has a million people do

The things I wish I'd done

But in the eyes of heaven

My place is assured

I carry with me heaven's grand design

Glory oh

Glory I will sing the name of the lord

And he will make me shine

And I will be like mother mary

With a blessing in my soul

And I will give the world my eyes

So they can see

And I will be like mother mary

With a blessing in my soul

And the future of the world inside of me

In the eyes of heaven

My place is assured

I carry with me heaven's grand design

Glory oh

Glory I will sing the name of the lord

And he will make me shine

And I will be like mother mary

With a blessing in my soul

And I will give the world my eyes

So they can see

And I will be like mother mary

With a blessing in my soul

And the future of the world inside of me

And I will be like mother mary

With the power in my veins

To believe in all the things

I've yet to see

And I will be like mother mary

And I'll suffer any pains

For the future of the world

For the future of the world

Inside of me
