Mama, mama, mama
Traveling
far and near
Trying to find me A quiet place
But the harder, I try
Night and day
Trials and tribulations stands in my way
I'm moving higher, on higher grounds
I'll never live my life chain and bound
I'm not a slave (no slave)
A slave (no slave)
Don't treat me so
Just let me be (no slave)
I'm not a slave (no slave)
A slave (no slave)
I'm not a slave
I'm on higher ground
(Zulu refrain)
Many times
I sit and I wonder
If there is no justice
No left to be found
But all of my thoughts
Just gone under
Humanity let us get up off the ground
Got to climb higher, on higher grounds
Listen to me people
Suffer no more
We are no slaves (no slave)
No slave (no slave)
Don't ever lose your own your dignity (no slave)
I'm no slave (no slave)
No slave (no slave)
Don't treat me so
I am on higher ground
(Refrain)
Mama, mama
Oh oh oh oh oh
Mama mama mama
Got to climb higher
On higher grounds
Listen to me people suffer no more
We are no slave (no slave)
No slave (no slave)
Don't ever lose your dignity (no slave)
part 2
We are no slave (no slave)
No slave (no slave)
Don't treat so
I am on higher
(Refrain in zulu)
Mama mama mama
Oh o o o o!
I am no slave (no slave)
No slave (no slave)
Don't treat me so
I'm on higher ground
