Intro:One day,you're gonna understand....Zion

Verse 1: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
and told me to kneel down and pray
for unto me a manchild 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

CHORUS
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion

Verse 2: How beautiful is 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

CHORUS

Marching, marching,marching
to Zion marching
marching, marching, beautiful,beautiful
Zion
