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
Oh Shembe (Shembe) thank you
For showing us the way (Shembe nobunazaretha)
Oh Shembe (Shembe) thank you
For healing my people (Shembe nobunazaretha)
Oh Shembe (Shembe) thank you
For showing us the way (Shembe nobunazaretha)
Finally I can tell the world
That Shemebe is the way
(..)
Finally I can tell them what I know
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
Shembe is the way
Oh Shembe (Shembe) thank you
For showing us the way (Shembe nobunazaretha)
Oh Shembe (Shembe) thank you
For healing my people (Shembe nobunazaretha)
Oh Shembe (Shembe) thank you
For showing us the way (Shembe nobunazaretha)
You are looking at me, I am looking at you
But we both know Shemebe is the way
