Mama Grenada, you have raised me Mama Grenada, yes I'm proud of my country But Mama Grenada, when I see you wrong To tell you with love, by my navel string I am bound From a little baby your independence I see I was born to you a young revolutionary But then as a toddler, still too young to understand I witnessed you change, innocence she'd with blood that ran But you were my mommy, my idol and my friend Couldn't think to question all that was happening then My childhood was pleasant, nurtured by your love In every area we your children strove My siblings and I, sometimes took you for granted Fulfilling our dreams ignoring what you needed Yet through it all you a good mother you remained Just praying your children be one day less selfish again My teenage years came; hormones acted up I wanted nice things, so I borrowed and couldn't stop But sooner than later, the effects began to show You my vibrant mother hurt by my debts, now slow But still I continued, ignoring your suffering Didn't see the cancer, killing you slowly from within So now as an adult, it is my turn to care To try make up for my misdeeds of yester-year We can fight the cancers, if your burdens we share Yes they have spread from brain drain and sloth to unemployment All is not loss if we foot the cost of aggressive treatment Mama, you are just forty and your life is not over yet So mama Grenada let's rally your children to give back and get your needs Met Mama Grenada, please forgive me Mama Grenada, my beautiful mommy Mama Grenada, please depend on me My siblings and I, we pledge to save our dear mommy Mama Grenada, oh my momma Mama Grenada, land of my forefathers Mama Grenada, I have grandkids you need to see So Mama have faith, we your children by your side will be
