Mine eyes have seen the story
Of the house when kids are bored
They are trampling out the cabinets
Where the breakables are stored
They hath loosed the fateful lightning
Of their plastic pirate swords
And Mom keeps marching on
(Chorus)
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
Glory! Glory, Hallelujah!
And Mom keeps marching on
I have seen them light a fire
In the house like it’s a camp
They have wills that never falter
They have broke their Daddy’s amp
I have laid my righteous sentence
‘Til the dim and flaring lamps
This day is dragging on
(Chorus)
They are wailing on the trumpet
They are drumming out a beat
They are tossing all the cushions
Far off every single seat
O how swift my toe to stub on
All the toys about my feet!
And Mom keeps marching on
(Chorus)
In a beauty just like lilies
These two boys were born to me
But I nursed them at my bosom
Which transfigured my body
As I try to raise them holy
Let Christ set my spirit free
So Mom keeps marching on
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
Glory! Glory, Hallelujah!
And Mom keeps marching on
