Thurlow Weed - Countless prayers of faithful people - текст песни (слова)

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
