Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
All praise to the African Grandma
Her daughters are dying of AIDS
Her HIV sons will not be there
Her hope for the future now fades.
Grandma, Grandma
We salute you, the road is hard
Grandma, Grandma
Our model for standing on guard.
There’s nobody else to rely on
But African Grandmas are strong
They don’t have a shoulder to cry on
But for little ones they’ll carry on.
Grandkids, Grandkids
Your Grandma will be there to give you care
Grandkids, Grandkids
Fear not, your Grandma is there.
