Shembe Is The Way Lyrics - Lucky Dube

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. 

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 

Chorus 

Oh Shemebe THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THE WAY. 

Shembe Nobunazaretha.
