Moronic and wrong.

Mary was told she was going to have a baby and...

“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David. And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”

It would not be immediately clear to Mary that she was having THE Messiah that had been foretold.

The song basically asks if she knew her child was Divine and would perform miracles.

A reasonable question at the moment of His birth.

Then there was Luke 2:34-35:

34Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”

She knew her baby was not some ordinary baby. She also knew she would suffer as His Mother. Perhaps not specifics, but she knew.

It took a bit -- Luke 2:35

34Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
