Oh I just heard a wonderous thing
A wonderous thing to me did come
That every child I'll ever bear
Was in my mother's womb oh
There in my mother's womb lay I
And with my heart a beating
Lay to my daughter in whose eyes
My mother's not forgotten
(Remember remember remember remember)
Oh I just heard a magic thing
A magic thing to me did fly
That every spark inside me now
Can bear my grandchild by and by and by and by
Can bear my grandchild in the arms
Of all who came before me
And so a legacy of light
From those who labored to bear me
(Her mother her mother her mother...)
So bind me to the ones I love
And them I never knew oh
With faith in things we cannot see
I know them to be true oh
A wonderous thing to me did come
That every child I'll ever bear
Was in my mother's womb oh
There in my mother's womb lay I
And with my heart a beating
Lay to my daughter in whose eyes
My mother's not forgotten
(Remember remember remember remember)
Oh I just heard a magic thing
A magic thing to me did fly
That every spark inside me now
Can bear my grandchild by and by and by and by
Can bear my grandchild in the arms
Of all who came before me
And so a legacy of light
From those who labored to bear me
(Her mother her mother her mother...)
So bind me to the ones I love
And them I never knew oh
With faith in things we cannot see
I know them to be true oh
