Chale! Gather 'round today
We celebrate the queen in every way
Sun is rising over Accra town today
There is a special light that’s leading the way
We put on our best Kente and we stand in a line
To honor the woman whose love is so fine
Grandma Grace, you are the roots of our tree
You’ve shown us the beauty of life we can see
With wisdom in your eyes and a heart made of gold
Your story is the greatest that has ever been told
Oh, happy birthday, Grandma Grace!
Put a smile on your beautiful face
We sing for the joy and the life that you bring
Today is for you, hear the melody ring
Oh, happy birthday, Grandma Grace!
In our hearts, you hold the highest place
Chale, let the music play for the queen
Best celebration that the world has ever seen
From the kelewele scents to the jollof so sweet
We dance to the rhythm, we shuffle our feet
Eii, seventy years and you’re still standing tall
You’ve answered whenever your family would call
Wonim? You taught us to work and to pray
To keep our heads high through the heat of the day
Your laugh is a sunshine that clears every cloud
Today we are singing your praises so loud
Oh, happy birthday, Grandma Grace!
Put a smile on your beautiful face
We sing for the joy and the life that you bring
Today is for you, hear the melody ring
Oh, happy birthday, Grandma Grace!
In our hearts, you hold the highest place
Chale, let the music play for the queen
Best celebration that the world has ever seen
Oyiwa! The years may go by but your spirit is young
Like a song that is sweet and forever is sung
We love you, we cherish you, more than you know
Watch how your legacy continues to grow
So let’s pop the drink and let’s cut the cake
For all of the memories you help us to make
From Independence Square to the homes where we rest
Grandma Grace, you are simply the best
Ah ah! Keep dancing until the moon starts to rise
We see all the blessings reflect in your eyes
Oh, happy birthday, Grandma Grace!
Put a smile on your beautiful face
We sing for the joy and the life that you bring
Today is for you, hear the melody ring
Oh, happy birthday, Grandma Grace!
In our hearts, you hold the highest place
Chale, let the music play for the queen
Best celebration that the world has ever seen
Happy birthday to you, Grandma Grace
Chale, keep shining with your amazing grace
We celebrate you today, and every single day
Joy and life, always, always, always
Oyiwa!
