It wasn't the valley of death, I was walking in
|
It was the valley of confusion for many years
|
Different religions, different beliefs
|
Undermining my culture
|
Looking down upon my tradition
|
Making fun of my language
|
Telling my children, they have no God
|
Finally I can tell them about,
|
Shembe is the way
|
|
Chorus
|
Oh SHEMBE thank you for showing us the way.
|
Shembe nobuNazaretha.
|
|
Oh SHEMBE thank you for healing my people.
|
SHEMBE nobuNazaretha.
|
|
SHEMBE is the way.
|
|
I hear them shouting Amen,
|
At the top of the mountain
|
I hear them shouting Uyingcwele
|
At the top of the mountain.
|
No one will undermine my religion
|
No one will undermine my culture anymore,
|
Cause God sent him from above, to be with the people.
|
Bring them back to what is their own
|
Take them back to the ways Of our forefathers.
|
|
Finally I can tell generations and generations
|
That SHEMBE is the way
|
|
Chorus
|
Oh SHEMBE THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THE WAY.
|
SHEMBE NobuNazaretha.
