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)
