Marchin' beautiful, beautiful Zion
Marchin', marchin', marchin', marchin' to Zion
A beautiful reflection of his grace
That the joy of my world is in Zion
Marchin', marchin', marchin' to Zion
And I'm reminded every time I see your face
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Marchin', marchin', marchin'
Marchin', marchin', marchin' to Zion
Marchin', marchin', marchin'
Marchin' beautiful, beautiful Zion
And I thank you for choosin' me
Marchin', marchin', marchin' to Zion
Than to wait at Zion's door
Marchin' beautiful, beautiful Zion
I knew his life deserved a chance
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
See I know that a gift so great
Marchin' beautiful, beautiful Zion
See life for you, my prince has just begun
Look at your career they said
Marchin', marchin', marchin'
To come through unto life to be
Marchin', marchin', marchin', marchin' to Zion
I've never been in love like this before
For unto me a man-child would be born
Marchin' beautiful, beautiful Zion
Marchin', marchin', marchin', marchin' to Zion
Marchin', marchin', marchin' to Zion
Marchin', marchin', marchin'
By what I had been chosen to perform
The perils that will surely come
Marchin', marchin', marchin', marchin' to Zion
Marchin', marchin', marchin', marchin' to Zion
Is only one God could create
But instead I chose to use my heart
"Lauryn, baby use your head"
Told me to kneel down and pray
But then an angel came one day
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
But everybody told me to be smart
Marchin', marchin', marchin' to Zion
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
How beautiful if nothin' more
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
Marchin', marchin', marchin'
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now let me pray to keep you from
Woe, this crazy circumstance
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
