I'll Take Care Of You
Grandpa, I thank you every day
Now I see how much you cared
You really went out of your way
So that little Idenise wouldn't be scared
of the big world, she couldn't see
Off to America where she can be
Anything from A to Z
Barely know ing English
You told her to aspire to be
" anything, anything, mama all I want you to do is LEAD!"
You told her to Fight, fight
for what is right
Come back home you would say
So that you wouldn't be alone
Ebola, Ebola entered Liberia
Then you died
Grandpa oh Grandpa I'm sorry I didn't help you fight
My hands were tight
Every day I cried
Every night you weren't by my side
I blamed myself
But I remember what you told me
Fight, fight for what is right
Ill fight Ebola with a cure
Don't worry grandpa this time ill fight
my hand won't be tight
Grandpa, I thank you every day
Now I see how much you cared
