Christmas Lullaby by Jason Robert Brown Lyrics

[WOMAN 1]
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
Gloria, Gloria, 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
Gloria, Gloria, 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
