about

"Mother Zion" is viewed through a spiritual lens that intertwines both biblical imagery of Zion and the Orthodox Christian understanding of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Within this framework, the song mirrors Mary’s role as the chosen vessel of God, reflecting the themes of reverence, prophecy, and divine fulfilment.

When placed in the context of Mary’s Magnificat, particularly her prophecy, “all generations shall call me blessed” (Luke 1:48), the song takes on even deeper significance. This spiritual depth is carried by heavy bass lines, vibrant percussion, and a heartbeat steppers rhythm, making it a roots reggae anthem that resonates with fans around the world. Truly, "Let di man dem say Mother Zion!" -- Ressonate

lyrics

Oh Lord yeah
Oh Lord yeah
Let the man them say Mother Zion

His foundation
Is in the Holy Mountain
So let the man them say Mother Zion

Holy Mount Zion
Glorious things have been spoken
So let the man them say Mother Zion
(Tell it to the nations)

Oh Lord yeah
Oh Lord yeah
Let the man them say Mother Zion

To them that know me
I mention Rahab and Babylon
So let the man them say Mother Zion

People of Philistia
People in the land of Ethiopia
Lift up your voice and say Mother Zion

Oh Lord yeah
Oh Lord yeah
Let the man them say Mother Zion

The Father He hallowed her
The Spirit overshadowed her
So let the man them say Mother Zion

God is in the midst of her
She shall not be moved
So let the man them say Mother Zion
(Tell it to the nations)

Oh Lord yeah
Oh Lord yeah
Let the man them say Mother Zion

This and that man was born in her
The Most High He has founded her
So let the man them say Mother Zion
(Oh Lord)

Said this and that man was born in her
The Most High He has founded her
So let the man them say Mother Zion
(Tell it to the nations)

Oh Lord yeah
Oh Lord yeah
Let the man them say Mother Zion

The singers and the players of instruments
Giving up prayers with all the saints
So let the man them say Mother Zion

Holy Mount Zion
Glorious things have been spoken
So let the man them say Mother Zion
(Tell it to the nations)

Oh Lord yeah
Oh Lord yeah
Let the man them say Mother Zion

(Tell it to the nations)
