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
