Shembe Is the Way

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 thank you for showing us the way.

Shembe nobunazaretha.

Oh SHEMBE thank you for healing my people.

Shembe nobunazaretha.

Shemebe is the way.

I hear them shoulting 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

Oh Shemebe THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THE WAY.

Shembe Nobunazaretha.
