This song is about her son she named "Zion" and about something called the "RASTAFARI MOVEMENT." It has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, like so many think. And she has spoken of it before, everyone needs to do their research before just believing what one wants to think something is or how it sounds to them. That is dangerous.
you guys need to check the to zion cover with these 3 college students. youtube to zion cover and its like the first link, its seriously a sweet cover and deserves more credit.
There's not enough i can say about this inspiration of mines, but what i want to know is CAN WE HAVE A REUNION OF THOSE KIDS in the interlude??? i want to hear them reflect on their thoughts of love almost 10 years later as adults (hopefully mature ones.) There's gotta be a way to rejoin them. i absolutely loved that concept in her album.
When I was 17 I gotten pregnant and 18 when I had her. I was really close enough to give her up(but for my mother) I just couldn't because she wouldn't. It was her first grandchild. She died 13 days before her first birthday, so i'm glad that I kept her for she can see her fist grand child. For right now I am happy that I made the choice to keep her(for me and my mother sake).
This song means a lot to me... I was 20 when I conceived and 21 when I had my son and it was a hard/sad/confusing/angry/happy/scary time all at once. The donor (my name for him) didn't want me to have the baby but for me it was never a question... just a matter of figuring out how to be the best single mom I could/can be. He truly is the joy of my world.
Im 19 a sophomore in college and 17 weeks pregnant. my baby is due Feb. 1, 2011. my entire family wants me to abort the pregnancy but i kno m y baby deserves a chance. this song is reassuring me of my decision to keep my child despite my family's threats to disown me. i touch my belly and smile because i kno this child will be a marvelous testimony.
@cutivicbabii2011 I admire your courage.Iwas 18 wen I got pregnant with my son.My whole family tried to convince me to abort him.When I was 15 weeks pregnant and I let them convince me to go to Choices to get rid of it.While I was sitting there I couldnt stop crying.Igot up and left.Long story short,my son is 14 yrs old now and my family nor I could see life without him.Follow your heart,things will be hard sometimes but no one will ever love u like your child will!!
My child is due March 8, 2011. I can't wait to experience this beautiful, everlasting feeling of motherhood. I'm so anxious to express my joy and love for my unborn whom Im already in love with. This song really hits home because it's exactly how I feel in the first verse. This song is really inspiring
@tt65st i got this from wikipedia, unless anyone else has a better definition for you
In the Rastafari movement, "Zion" stands for a Utopian place of unity, peace and freedom, as opposed to "Babylon", the oppressing and exploiting system of the western world and a place of evil.
I love Lauryn but she cant come back really she has 4 children she is now a full time mother. Her job is HARD n she just don't have the time. but this song is AMAZING i love her strong black women.
@wakymizzle She's back now. She was waiting until her youngest daughter who's now 2 can be old enough to be good without her while Lauryn is recording and out on tour :)
What is the freaking deal with the same beats at the start of every song?
