I think she is singing about how she does not get to see her mom and feels like she doesn't have a mom because she never sees her due to slavery. She has a mother, but sadly, she never sees her.6

"Swing low" has two primary meanings: it's the key phrase in the famous African American spiritual, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," which can refer to a divine chariot taking souls to heaven or a metaphorical vehicle for escape from slavery via the Underground Railroad; and in finance and trading, a "swing low" is a security's price that reaches a trough or low point before beginning to rise again.

The Song I chose is named 12 years a slave (aka Roll Jordan Roll) it signifies a moment of pained resignation & internal acceptance of Solomon Northup's enslaved status after a fellow slave's death, this song sends a Christian message to send agency and hop for freedom, and serves as a coded spiritual feeling for escape while also fostering community and dignity while feeling despair. This song highlights the internal conflict, resilience, and complex relationship between enslaved people and their faith as a means of survival and resistance against dehumanization.
