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 be   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
