To Zion Lyrics

Artist: Lauryn Hill
Album: The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill

[Featuring Carlos Santana]
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! (Zion, Zion!)
Now the joy... of my world...
is in Zion! (Zion, uhh, 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... (JOY) of my world... (WORLD)
is in Zion! (IS IN ZION) I said Zion! (IS IN ZION)
Now the joy... (JOY) of my world... (WORLD)
is in Zion! (IS IN ZION, IS IN ZION)
Now the joy... Zion! (JOY) of my world... (WORLD)
is in Zion! (IS IN ZION, IS IN ZION)
Now the joy... Zion! (JOY) of my world... (WORLD)
is in Zion! (IS IN ZION, IS IN ZION)
Marching (marching) marching (marching)
to Zion (marching) marching (marching) -- we gon' march
Marching (marching) marching (marching)
to Zion (marching), beautiful beautiful Zion!
Marching (marching) marching (marching)
to Zion (marching) marching (marching)
Marching (marching) marching (marching)
to Zion (marching), beautiful beautiful Zion!
Marching (marching) marching (marching) -- MY JOY, MY JOY
to Zion (marching) marching (marching) -- MY JOY, MY JOY
Marching (marching) marching (marching) -- MY JOY, MY JOY
to Zion (marching), beautiful beautiful Zion! -- MY JOY, MY JOY
Marching (marching) marching (marching) -- MY JOY, MY JOY
to Zion (marching) marching (marching) -- MY JOY, MY JOY
Marching (marching) marching (marching) -- NOW THE JOY
to Zion (marching), beautiful beautiful Zion! -- OF MY LIFE
Marching (marching) marching (marching) -- IS ZION
to Zion (marching) marching (marching)
Marching (marching) marching (marching) -- NOW THE JOY
to Zion (marching), beautiful beautiful Zion! -- OF MY LIFE
Beautiful beautiful Zion! -- IS ZION
Beautiful beautiful Zion! -- IS ZION
Beautiful beautiful Zion!
Beautiful beautiful Zion!
Beautiful beautiful Zion!
Beautiful beautiful Zion!

by monique on 1/19/2009 3:48am i love this song it remind me of when my mom was trying to have me and my twin brother rip bookie dying at 8years old i miss u dearly
by C on 1/19/2009 8:05pm I´m so sorry for doing what i did. I hope my baby can forgive me. I think of him every single day. please forgive me... I can´t live if you don´t.
by D on 2/8/2009 9:20pm I think this song is more about a personal experience than about telling people what decision to make. At least I hope so. Although it does seem like she is judging when she says "Lauryn baby use your head, but instead I chose to use my heart." The song is beautiful but I don't like the message you guys are discussing. People who "use their heads" shouldn't be condemned. And she shouldn't say that a person must be using only one or the other in making a choice. One can use both their head and the heart.
by L on 2/22/2009 10:51am Absolutely amazing song, touches my heart everytime i hear the song and listen to the words!!

by ZHA'NAI'S MOMMI on 4/3/2009 4:06pm I DONT THINK SHE'S SAYIN THAT IF U CHOOSE ABORTION U DONT HAVE A HEART... I THINK SHE MEANS HOW THEY WHERE TELLIN HER TO THINK ABOUT HER CAREER BUT INSTEAD SHE THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT SHE THINKS IS BEST FOR HER HEART {{HER SON}}... I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH... MY DAUGHTER'S FATHER WANTED ME TO GET AN ABORTION BUT I JUST COULDNT DO IT... SHE IS TRULY MY PRIDE AND JOY... MOMMI LOVES U ZHA'NAI AND THATS 4EVA AND ALWAYS
by Trisha on 5/3/2009 3:44am This very song is the reason I chose to give my son the name Zion which was born on 3/20/09 because everyone told me not to keep the baby and in my heart I knew I couldn't do anything else but keep him and then I heard this song and I knew what he name was ment to be
