Lauryn Hill - To Zion lyrics

[Talking] One day you'll understand Zion! Unsure of what the balance held I touched my belly overwhelmed By what I had been chosen to perform But then an angel came one day Told me to kneel down and pray For unto me a man child would be born Woe this crazy circumstance I knew his life deserved a chance But everybody told me to be smart Look at your career they said, "Lauryn, baby, use your head." But instead I chose to use my heart Now the joy of my world is in Zion Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come See life for you my prince has just begun And I thank you for choosing me To come through unto life to be A beautiful reflection of his grace See I know that a gift so great Is only one God could create And I'm reminded every time I see your face That the joy of my world is in Zion Now the joy of my world is in Zion Now the joy of my world is in Zion Now the joy of my world is in Zion Marching, marching, marching to Zion Marching, marching Marching, marching, marching to Zion Beautiful, beautiful Zion [repeat to end of song]
