Lyrics
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 circunstance
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 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
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Marching, marching, marching, marching to Zion
Marching, marching, marching, marching
Marching, marching, marching to Zion, marching
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
Marching, marching, marching, marching to Zion
Marching, marching, marching, marching
Marching, marching, marching to Zion, marching
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
Marching, marching, marching, marching to Zion
Marching, marching, marching, marching
Marching, marching, marching to Zion, marching
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
Marching, marching, marching, marching to Zion
Marching, marching, marching, marching
Marching, marching, marching to Zion, marching
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
Marching, marching, marching, marching to Zion
Marching, marching, marching, marching
Marching, marching, marching to Zion, marching
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
Beautiful, beautiful Zion (marching)
Beautiful, beautiful Zion (marching)
Beautiful, beautiful Zion (marching)
Beautiful, beautiful Zion (marching)
Beautiful, beautiful Zion (marching)
Beautiful, beautiful Zion (marching)
Okay, how many people here have ever been in love?
I know none of the guys are gonna raise their hand
How many of y'all ever been in love?
I know none of the guys been in
We don't get in love, right?
Oh, let this black man right here tell what his idea of love is
'Cause not all the time we hear a young black man talk about love
About your personal definition
Don't tell me what Webster thinks, huh?
Willingness to do everything for that person
Okay, everything like what? Explain
Let him talk, c'mon
If I asked him to talk about a fancy car he'd be right on point
But we wanna talk about love
You can do it
What do you think?
You said you love somebody, you should know why you love them, right?
The way they act
The way they carry themselves, stuff like that
Okay
The way that they hang with the boys, and they just stand out
It's like sometimes it don't even matter like what they wear or what they look like
It's like that way, you know
Yeah
It's like you know you wanna talk to him because he stands out
It's like he got a glow or something
That's deep
That's what I'm talking about
I thought that was a beautiful point
Anyone else want to deal with that?
It's sometimes, like when they try to act funny in front of the boys
Like when they get around to say they love you
They can't love you, 'cause love-love-love wouldn't do that
Love is not phony
