I woke up this morning feeling low
I had a heavy heart and a soul full of woe
I wondered where I would find my way
But then I remembered I'm bound for Mt. Zion
(Chorus)
Bound for Mt. Zion, way out on a hill
Where the air is clear and the water is chill
Bound for Mt. Zion, where the light shines bright
And the people are filled with love and delight
(Verse 2)
I followed my heart and lifted my eyes
I saw a mountain in the far-off skies
It was Mt. Zion, my home sweet home
And I knew that was the place I needed to roam
(Chorus)
Bound for Mt. Zion, way out on a hill
Where the air is clear and the water is chill
Bound for Mt. Zion, where the light shines bright
And the people are filled with love and delight
(Bridge)
I traveled many miles and faced many a trial
But I never gave up, for my heart was loyal
I knew that Mt. Zion was my destiny
And I was determined to reach it, you see
(Verse 3)
Finally, I arrived at Mt. Zion's door
And I felt a peace I never felt before
I was surrounded by warmth and affection
And a feeling of joy and pure perfection
(Chorus)
Bound for Mt. Zion, way out on a hill
Where the air is clear and the water is chill
Bound for Mt. Zion, where the light shines bright
And the people are filled with love and delight
(Outro)
So if you're feeling lost and your soul is in need
Just look to Mt. Zion and plant a good seed
For it is a place where dreams come true
And happiness awaits for me and you
