Zion is the name of a region in the land of Israel, and this term is often used to represent a promised land which is under divine protection – it’s the fabled land of milk and honey where the Israelian people was directed to during the Exodus. There are several artists who evoke the image of Zion with the intention of conveynd their desire for a better place, a well as an escape from the world of negativity and calamity we live at. The following song is called “Road to Zion”, the artist is no other than Damian Marley, the youngest male son to the legendary Bob Marley. This song is not only pleasant to listen, but it’s also rather interesting from an aesthethic standpoint. During the video, Damian roams around the streets strolling a shop cart and distributing cards featuring the Lion of Judah (an image often used to symbolize Jesus), thus providing redemption to the people that care to listen to his positive message. I’m aware this is just silly entertainment, but I really wish there was a road to Zion; all things considered, there’s no wrong in dreaming, wouldn’t you agree?

Sometimes I can’t help but feel helpless

I’m having daymares in daytime

Wide awake try to relate

This can’t be happening like I’m in a dream while I’m walkin,

Cause what I’m seein is haunting,

Human beings like ghost and zombies,

President Mugabe holding guns to innocent bodies

In Zimbabwe,

They make John Pope seem godly,

Sacrilegious and blasphemous

In my lifetime I look back at paths I’ve walked,

Where savages fought and pastors taught,

Prostitutes stomp in high heel boots,

And badges screaming “Young black children stop or I will shoot!”

I look back at cooked crack,

Plus cars that pass by,

Jaguars mad fly,

And I’m guilty for materialism,

Blacks is still up in the prison, trust that,

So save me your sorries, I’m raising an army,

Revolutionary warfare with Damian Marley,

We sparkin’ the ions, marching to Zion,

You know how Nas be NYC State Of Mind I’m in.
