¶Lyrics / Text

1. Countless prayers of faithful people weighted in a cumbrous world found an answer as an angel met an open-hearted girl. Not a master of a palace where the airs of empire swirl, not a young or hardened warrior but an open-hearted girl. 2. All the years of desperate longing of a people to be free found an eloquent expression in her simple, Let it be. Not in battle or in barter for a Caesar's guarantee, but in prayerful conversation and a simple, Let it be. 3. What gift, now, and whenever life feels barren, hope consumed, to recall that once a woman welcomed God within her womb. We see better now, and always, faith, responsive, making room, be-cause once a woman, Mary, welcomed God within her womb From ''Songs for the Cycle'' ©2004 by Michael Hudson.
