To Zion

Zion
Zion
Zion
Zion
This is a song about life, y'all
You can clap your hands if you want to

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)
(Is in Zion)

Now the joy (joy)
Of my world (world)
Is in Zion (is in Zion, is in Zion)

Now the joy (joy)
Of my world (world)
Is in Zion (is in Zion, is in Zion)

Now the joy (joy)
Of my world (world)
Is in Zion (is in Zion, is in Zion)

Marching, marching, marching, marching (marching)

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 (you're the joy)
To Zion, marching, beautiful, beautiful, Zion (of my life)
