The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill

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)
