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
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 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)

My Mother | Reviewer: A Zion | 5/28/09
I cry everytime I hear this song.
When I was 20 my mother sat me down and asked for my forgiveness. It was hard to hear her speak about when she became pregnant with me, and how she refused to abort me despite her bad circumstances. I grew up poor, but I'm glad I was born, and I appreciate the tough life my mother has lived.
i wonder | Reviewer: kaleigh | 5/25/09
i wonder what my baby would have looked like all the time, shame is almost an everyday emotion for me, i cry less now but lord knows i still need strength, i pray for forgiveness, i can now raise my face and hope for better days
i know how it feels | Reviewer: puleng moiloa | 5/7/09
i also had a choice of keeping my baby or losing the man that i loved then. he said" i hate that thing in your tummy." stupid man! again i had to face my family and friends and, you can only imagine how ashamed i was. but then things did not turn out as bad as i thought they would because my family stood by me,as for the looser, got rid of him, not my precious baby boy, he smells so good.
My son will be 15 tomorrow. I was 15 when I had him. This song has always been my dedication to him and one day at his wedding, we will dance. We have made it and have a sweet life together. He was my reason for it all.
Very Emotional | Reviewer: Julia | 4/17/09
<small>This Song Makes Meh Emotional Whenever I Listen. Im Only 14 And I Had To Get An Abortion Because I Was Too Young. If I Could I Would Keep Iht But My Mom And Friends Told Meh I Had My Whole Life Ahead Of Meh And A Baybee Would Riun Iht. Everyday I Feel Like That Baybee Could Have Been Something Great But Because Of My Mistake That Baybee Never Had A Chance To Live! I Cry Every Night Before I Sleep. I Repeatly Say Im Sory Baybee And I Know The Baybee Cant Hear Meh! But Ihts Ghud Lauryn Hill Made The Great Decision She Did. TheDay I Wnt To Get My Abortion A Protestor Told Meh To Take A Panthlet And Told Meh I Could Save My Baybee's Life I Broke Down And Cried. I Wish I WOuld Have But Ihts Too Late. This Goes Out To Anyone No Matter What Age Dont Take Your Baybee's Life Away; Your Baybee Is Something Prescious....But I Will Never Know

right to the heart and soul | Reviewer: sarah | 3/1/09
as a 19 year old mother of a son, this song hits my heart hard and makes me cry in happiness every time i hear it. i had nothing and still dont but now i have the love of my life i could never imagine my life without my son. anything is possible with love as your backup!
this song spoke to my heart like no other i was pregnant at 22 and no one wanted me to have him but i knew in my heart he was meant to be and his life was gonna be extraordinary now at 5 years old this child is the air i breathe and every time i hear this song i think yea thas how i feel bout my baby i love you for makin this song lauryn:)
I love how this song works on SO many levels-- the mother/son connection, the desire to return to/connect with Zion, and also the allusions to the Virgin Mary and the immaculate conception in the first verse. It's incredibly beautiful.
