It wasn't the valley of death
I was working 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)
Nobunazaretha
Oh Shembe
Shembe (thank you for healing my people)
Nobunazaretha
Oh Shembe
Shembe (thank you for showing us the way)
Nobunazaretha
Finally, I can tell the world, oh
That Shembe 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 uyingowele
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
Ehhh
Finally I can tell generations to generations
Shembe is the way
Oh Shembe
Shembe (thank you for healing my people)
Nobunazaretha
Oh Shembe
Shembe, ciagonama
Nobunazaretha
Oh Shembe
Shembe (thank you for showing us the way)
Nobunazaretha
Ehh
You are looking at me, I'm looking at you
But we both know, Shembe is the way
Uh
