@swagge36559 i think she was singing about both because she clearly saidin the song " this crazy circumstance i knew his life deserve a chance,but everybody told me to be smart look at your career " they said "Lauryn baby use your head, but insteasd i chose to use my heart" what are you trying to imply is that she gave birth to Jesus Christ ?i dont think so .
I'm a man who can't have children, and every single time I listen to this song... the love she carries in her voice, the grateful she is having made this decision... I cry like a baby.
@aquanet10 The word ''hater'' is what low class ''celebrities'' use to categorize those who simply don't like their music. Hill is more sophisticated and graceful. People who don't like her music are...people, who don't like her music. They are not haters and I think that is the most pathetic word. This comment is not going directly to you :P I'm just tired of that word being used as an excuse as to why people don't like some music. It isn't hate, it's just not liking.
I sat here thinking of every way i could write this to psychologically influence people to listen to some of my work, but i realized there's nothing like complete honesty. I am a new artist who is very talented and would appreciate some feedback.
This song is about Zion, and Zion only. I am sorry to disappoint. The lyrics are plain and simple! You don't have to dissect everything. She named her son after Mt. Zion and that's it. Religious freaks just want more! (no disrespect to the normal religious ppl), some go over the top and are always searching for the number 23! Just enjoy the song for what it is!
I think it pri do...i think she knows the truth of Mt. Zion, which made her name her son after it. So her could be referring to it(Mt.Zion). Bless her
The soprano note at the end be killin' it. Too bad I'm an Alto, I will be killin' that joint every time I hear this song. One of my true favs of all time.
Historical evidence of the existence of Jesus is miniscule at best. Faith and belief is the enemy of reason and intelligence. Yes you should have morals, but not because of 2000 year old fables.
i love this woman passion in her voice everytime i hear this sound my pores raise the sound of her voice and the lyrics of the song makes me feel like im safe n it's not really a gospel song
This song reminds me of being pregnant at 15 and my entire family telling me Krystel you have your entire life before you...I now have a 13 year old daughter with medical and developmental issues and I thank God everyday for allowing me to have her...I love this song
G_d please bless this woman where she is. In 2000 my fiance confessed to me that because we were struggling so badly with finances, she almost secretly had an abortion. It was because of this song that she had my beautiful baby girl who is now 11 years old. Who says music does not save lives. I finished law school and now we have a beautiful home and life.
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

@iiloveRandB 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.
@ItsMeBek Its hard in the service you know. Mostly when you are a single parent. Kinda makes you a target. They push you to leave your children, push you to live the life, and most importantly push you to be all they want you to be. Sometimes having to sacrafice the time with your children and getting to know them. I admire all woman in the service because I know what it take to be a one. :) God Bless you hunny!

@ChristieTooPretty true, but she's not talking about her son only. God bless her child. she made that song in tribute to 2 people. one is her son. and the other is Jesus Christ. "for the joy of the world is Mt. Zion." who sits on Zion other than Jesus Christ the Son of God? notice that she compares herself to mary when she said the angel told her she would have a son. thats what happened before Jesus was born.
@ultratiger97 i have to disagree with you...she is thanking God for her son, but this song is about her SON..her pregnancy and how unexpected it was and how other people said it wasnt the best choice for her but he was a gift from God...a piece of heaven for her. She already had the faith before her sons birth but she named him zion as a tribute to that faith and the circumstances that she got pregnant and and had him in. She is giving thanks but this is a song written for her child.
@kndiksh91 OK IF SHE IS TALKING ABOUT HER SON WHO SHE NAMED ZION THEN WHY DOES SHE SAY "HOW BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING MORE BUT TO WAIT AT ZIONS DOOR????? SHE MAY OF SAID SHE IS TALKING ABOUT HER SON AND U CAN BELIEVE THAT BUT IN MY HEART I KNOW SHE IS TALKING ABOUT JESUS BUT CAN NOT SAY HIS NAME !!!!! AND WHY WOULD "MARCHING MARCHING THE ZIONS OR MARCHING MARCHING !? SHE IS TALKING ABOUT GODS CHILDREN MARCHING 2GETHER AS ONE =)... U DONT HAE TO BELIEVE ME BUT I KNOW THE TRUTH <3
@SWAGGE36559 I honestly think she was talking about the grace of Zion and her child that she named after it. She doesn't say Jesus' name but she does however say God's. The proof that this song is about both her son and Zion is when she states, "I know a gift so great is only one God could create and I am reminded every time I see your face." The song is DEDICATED to her son and giving thanks to God for steering her through giving birth to her child. Come on there doesn't have 2 b 1 meaning
@SWAGGE36559 How can she be talking about Jesus when she is or was a ras an further more Zion is a place and I am sure she is educated enough to have known this....so obviously she is on about her son
@SWAGGE36559 a gift so great...erm a child, the joy of her world erm again HER child, ....all people are created in the image of God therefore her child is a beautiful creation of his grace...and she saying when she found out she was pregnant she was reminded to look at her career...but she went with her heart...
@SWAGGE36559 Sometimes people use double meanings in their songs. I think the reference to waiting at Zion's door is what you believe and also what many mothers do when babies or small children are asleep in their bedrooms with the door closed or just ajar/slightly opened. That's just a habit that's formed waiting for kids to wake; but not wanting to disturb them. It's a beautiful song. No one has to be upset about it.
@ultratiger97 Try again... This song has zero to do with Jesus Christ. It's called "RASTAFARI MOVEMENT" And she has spoken of it before, do your research before just believing what you think something is or how it sounds to you. That is dangerous.
@cannabisPREVENTION let me explain just a tad bit prevention. she's not just talking about her son when she says her joy is in Zion. she's also referring to Jesus Christ. why does she eat Him? because He is the bread of life." eat of my flesh and drink of my blood." you wouldnt understand unless you knew Jesus. do what Lauren did and find Him. call out to Him and see why people love Him so much. He lives, and He loves.
how come it seems like no one knows that shes not just talking about her son. she's talking about him and she's comparing herself to mary and talking about Jesus Christ. "for the joy of the world is mt. Zion" "and i will set my king on my holy hill, mt zion" wake up people. lauren hill knows. how about you? Jesus is Lord.
i just found out i'm carrying a child 2 days ago... everyone told me to be smart, that I have my whole life ahead of me.i've always loved lauryn and i've heard this song many times...hearing it today felt different. but it filled my heart <3 i love this song so much. and love my unborn child already !
Gettin' "instead i chose to use my heart" with my sons birth date under it. I've sang this to him a million times since he was born, and to my tummy before that. The joy of my world is in XANDER!
@cannabisPREVENTION ummm she isn't talking about eating anything. She is talking about the pregnancy and birth of her first born son, Zion, and how everyone was telling her that she should have an abortion but she choose to keep him.
I don't get this song... Why are you people saying Its good..this woman ate "the joy of her world" Aka probably her mailman or something, and rubbed her stomach after that ginormous meal? Her mom told her to not be an idiot, but she loved him so much that she sent him to heaven via her mouth. That's gross
@lishsonek First of all Sir, but my name however, is not Ahar. Now i kinda have some idea of what you have just typed, but comon. do you have dyslexia or something? Why cant you spell "you're"? I'm "dum"?
Every time this song plays, my mom always tells me how she would sing this song to her stomach when she was pregnant with me. But instead of "Zion" she would change it to "Essence".
Im an aspiring musician who would appreciate any positive feedback and constructive criticism. My musics a combination of reggae, rap, spoken word and r and b, uplifting music straight.
Zion is the name of the holy land after god comes back for all of his ppl its the name of the new earth after god brings heaven to earth. I named my son zion jus so he can have a blessed name.. Zion is not god!!
'lauryn baby use your head.. but instead i chose to use my heart' - this tune sums up me and my son he was 3 today, sleeping now.. might be overly emotional but i listened to j. cole 'lost ones' and then to this and cried - do the same you will see what i mean
solid gold sister. where are you now?? come back to us nah? come an walk beside us, bring us the joy of ya world. we need a lil bit a the joy here today, bless us again with ya voice an ya message girl. where are you now??
@IsabellaEmiliaRios israel isnt the same zion that the rastas believe in. zion is a metaphor for emancipaiton from oppression. and its Palestine, not Israel
During the labor and delivery of my son, I was playing music from a playlist I made. This song was on there and right when I pushed him out and they were cleaning him up to give to me this was the song that was playing! Talk about an emotional moment when they placed him in my arms!
historically racism was against people of color and affected people who were "non-whites" so therefore when people try to call people of color racist against whites, they clearly have no understanding of racism as a systemic force and the history of white supremacy in this country (usa)
zion is about peace of mind finding a safe place called home, but lauryns new shit clearly discusses how there is no safe place on this earth for anybody. listen to her unplugged and you will here the corruption she raps about and sings about. finding a peace of mind means destroying the sick sociey in which we live in today and creating a new one. also for all the white people who insist on calling lauryn hill racist: newflash: there is no such thing as reverse racism. historically racism
If you like rap, type in "Brandon E. Williams" in the search box and click on the 1st or second video.....this kids rap skill is amazing! you wont be disappointed.
I used to sing this to my pregnant 18 yr old belly while everybody turned against me and abandon me and I knew that my son was a gift from God. Now 12 yrs later and I wouldn't change a thing. I remain in love with him forever
@TTGCOLLIN WORD! i had my daughter at 16 and there was never a doubt in my mind whether or not i was having this child. she's almost 18 years old now. she was a wonderful baby and she's growing up to be an amazing young woman. i'm so proud to be her mother..." i thank God for choosing me" i really do. she's my one and only child so when i hear this song, it almost brings tears to my eyes. it speaks to my soul! i love it!

If you don't understand this song, than you're clearly an IDIOT -__-
It's so obvious what she's talking about,
I've never had a child or been pregnant but I can TRULY appreciate this song. So many women are faced with that decision. This is a BEAUTIFUL song <3

@cannabisPREVENTION ummm she isn't talking about eating anything. She is talking about the pregnancy and birth of her first born son, Zion, and how everyone was telling her that she should have an abortion but she choose to keep him.

I don't get this song... Why are you people saying Its good..this woman ate "the joy of her world" Aka probably her mailman or something, and rubbed her stomach after that ginormous meal? Her mom told her to not be an idiot, but she loved him so much that she sent him to heaven via her mouth. That's gross

Every time this song plays, my mom always tells me how she would sing this song to her stomach when she was pregnant with me. But instead of "Zion" she would change it to "Essence".

historically racism was against people of color and affected people who were "non-whites" so therefore when people try to call people of color racist against whites, they clearly have no understanding of racism as a systemic force and the history of white supremacy in this country (usa)

@stillnotlovinnpolice no historically racism has been around way before white supremacist. back in the bible day people were racist.

zion is about peace of mind finding a safe place called home, but lauryns new shit clearly discusses how there is no safe place on this earth for anybody. listen to her unplugged and you will here the corruption she raps about and sings about. finding a peace of mind means destroying the sick sociey in which we live in today and creating a new one. also for all the white people who insist on calling lauryn hill racist: newflash: there is no such thing as reverse racism. historically racism

@TTGCOLLIN WORD! i had my daughter at 16 and there was never a doubt in my mind whether or not i was having this child. she's almost 18 years old now. she was a wonderful baby and she's growing up to be an amazing young woman. i'm so proud to be her mother..." i thank God for choosing me" i really do. she's my one and only child so when i hear this song, it almost brings tears to my eyes. it speaks to my soul! i love it!
