To Zion (featuring Carlos Santana) Lyrics

To Zion (featuring Carlos Santana) lyrics

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
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
For 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 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)
