Very few are born to riches, very few
Very few of cherished wishes ever come true
But that won't matter much at all
On the day your name is called
When this earthbound life is through
And your Father says of you
This one was born in Zion
Make no mistake, this one is Mine
This one was born in Zion
This one will never, this one will never
This one will never die
Very few are ever famous, very few
Very few will ever live the dream that they choose
But that won't matter much at all
On the day your name is called
When this earthbound life is through
And your Father says of you
This one was born in Zion
Make no mistake, this one is Mine
This one was born in Zion
This one will never, this one will never
This one will never die
And every dream left unfulfilled
And every worthy goal
Is just a shadow of the joy that waits
Forever to unfold
This one was born in Zion
Make no mistake, this one is Mine
This one was born in Zion
This one will never, oh, this one will never
This one will never die
