Lyrics for Song: To Zion
Lyrics for Album: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill [2004]
One day, you wouldn't 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 choose 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 everytime 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)
