I Know a Place

Growing up wasn't easy
Third time, nobody could heal me
Had to find a way to escape
Gone and made my way to that space
Nana used to say, baby
She loved to call us all, babies
Please go there with your mind, she'd say
And your heart will follow
Let nobody, don't you let nobody come and take your peace
Where time is just time and it don't make no difference
As a child holds her innocence in a way

I know a place where I can be free
I know a place where I am who I am
And no one can hurt me there, there we just don't know about
I know a place where I can be free, where I can be me

That' isandla sam' unga buyel' emva
There's nothing there for you just leave it there and follow me
Please take my hand and let me take you there
Just believe me when I tell you that there's nothing there to fear

I know a place where I can be free, where I can be me...
