NONI WILL YOU HELP ME?

I’M AFRAID NO ONE WILL.

DADDY IS RAISING HELL

MOMA’S TOOK A PILL.

NONI WILL YOU HELP ME?

I CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT.

WHEN EVERYTHING GETS QUIET

THAT’S WHEN THEY FUSS & FIGHT.

NONI WILL YOU HELP ME?

IT’S YOUR HOUSE I WANT TO STAY.

THERE’S ALWAYS LOTS OF FOOD,

I LOVE IT WHEN WE PLAY.

NONI WILL YOU HELP ME?

YOU PROMISE NOT TO LIE?

TELL THEM STOP THE FIGHTING,

IT’S NO LONGER GOING TO FLY.

NONI, WILL YOU HELP ME?

MAKE IT ALL JUST STOP.

IF THEY DON’T WANT TO LISTEN,

SIMPLY CALL THE COPS.

NONI WILL YOU HELP ME?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN SO LONG?

YOU SAID YOU’D NEVER LEAVE,

I’M PRAYING NOTHINGS WRONG.

NONI WILL YOU HELP ME?

THEY SAY YOU WENT AWAY.

IS IT BECAUSE OF ME,

OR WHAT I TOLD YOU TO SAY?

CHILD PLEASE LISTEN TO ME,

I DID THE BEST I COULD.

PEOPLE DIDN’T SEEM TO LISTEN,

LIKE I THOUGHT THEY WOULD.

CHILD PLEASE LISTEN TO ME,

I TOLD THEM ALL FOR THEE.

THEY STARTED BEING SELFISH

AND DIDN'T CARE ABOUT YOU AND ME.

CHILD PLEASE LISTEN TO ME,

I’M TRYING WITH ALL MY MIGHT.

I THOUGHT OTHERS WOULD STAND BESIDE US,

DOING WHAT THEY KNEW WAS RIGHT.

CHILD PLEASE LISTEN TO ME,

I PRAY IT’S NOT TO LATE.

I PROMISE I DIDN’T KNOW,

IT’S NOT A GRANDPARENT’S STATE.

CHILD PLEASE LISTEN TO ME,

IT IS HARD WHAT I MUST SAY.

BECAUSE I’M ONLY A GRANDPARENT,

I CAN’T SEE YOU TODAY.

CHILD PLEASE LISTEN TO ME,

I VOW I AM STILL HERE.

BE PATIENT NOW MY BABY,

THIS COULD TAKE SEVERAL YEARS.

CHILD PLEASE LISTEN TO ME,

I’LL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU.

BUT THERE’S A STATUE OF LIMITATIONS,

AND THEY SAY OUR TIME IS THROUGH.

CHILD PLEASE LISTEN TO ME,

IT HURTS SO BAD INSIDE.

TO KNOW THE LOVE THEY STOLE,

SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY LIED.

CHILD PLEASE LISTEN TO ME,

THE DAY WILL COME REAL SOON.

WHEN I’LL HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS,

AND KISS YOU TO THE MOON.

Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.
