about

John Ndiche dedicated this song as a tribute to his grandmother.

lyrics

'Listen, my friends,
I have no father, no mother,
I was born and they died,
I have no friends
I was only left with Grandma Wagakunga
She brought me up through a lot of hardship
Until I became a full grown man
I am so indebted to her
How will I ever replay her?
Dear God, help Ndichu
And help Grandma Wagakunga
I am so much indebted to you
I don't know how I will ever repay you'
