To Zion (feat. Carlos Santana)

One day you're gonna 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, 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) (is in Zion) (is in Zion)

Now the joy (joy) of my world (world) is in Zion (is in Zion, is in Zion)

Now the joy (joy) of my world (world) is in Zion (is in Zion, is in Zion)

Now the joy (joy) of my world (world) is in Zion (is in Zion, is in Zion)

Okay, how many people here have ever been in love?

I know none of the guys are gonna raise their hand, but

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

(Willingness to do everything for that person)

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) uh-huh

(The way they carry themselves, stuff like that)

Okay

The way that they hang with they 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 want to 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 they boys

like when they get around say they love you

They can't love you

'Cause love-love-love wouldn't do that

(Love is not phony!)
