作词 : Hill

One day, I'm gonna understand...

Zion 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" “lauryn

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, uhh, 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)

Teacher: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?

Class:(Mumbling)

Teacher: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?

Boy: Willingness to do everything for that person

Teacher: 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. (To another pupil) What do you think? You said you love somebody, you should know why you love them right?

Boy 2: The way they act

Uh-huh

Boy 2: The way they carry themselves, stuff like that

Teacher:Okay

Girl: 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?

Girl 2:Yeah

Girl:It's like you know you want to talk to him,because he stands out, it's like he got a glow or something

Teacher: That's deep

Boy 2: That's what I'm talking about

Teacher: I thought that was a beautiful point. Anyone else want to deal with that?

Girl 2: 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

Girl 3: Love is not phony!

_(Laughter)
