To Zion

One day you're gonna understand

Zion

Unsure of what the valance held
I touched my belly over well
What I had been chosen to perform
Then an angel came one day
Told me to kneel down and pray
For unto me a man child would be born

God has created circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
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 him my prayers have 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
