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)
