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.
