The Empty Chair (Grandma/Grandpa, I Miss You)
(A touching Afro-soul / Zambian-style ballad)
Verse 1
I was just a child, I didn’t understand,
Why you had to leave, why you let go of my hand.
You were my shelter, my morning light,
The one who made everything feel alright.
I remember your stories, the smile on your face,
The love in your home, the warmth of your place.
I thought you would stay, I thought you were forever,
I never knew goodbye would come so early.
Chorus
Oh grandma, oh grandpa, I miss you today,
Your voice and your laughter never fade away.
The chair where you sat is empty now,
But your love still lives inside me somehow.
I was too young to understand the pain,
But your memories fall like gentle rain.
Though you’re gone and I can’t see you,
My heart will always carry you.
Verse 2
Sometimes I look at the sky at night,
And wonder if you can see my life.
I wish I could tell you the person I’ve become,
The battles I’ve fought, the victories I’ve won.
You taught me kindness, you taught me to pray,
You showed me love in your own special way.
Even though time took you away,
Your words guide me every day.
Bridge
Life moves on, but love remains,
Your name is written deep in my veins.
The world lost someone precious and true,
But heaven gained an angel like you.
Final Chorus
Oh grandma, oh grandpa, hear my song,
I carry your memory all along.
Though my eyes may cry sometimes,
Your love gives me strength to shine.
The empty chair reminds me of you,
Of all the beautiful things we went through.
I was young when you had to depart,
But you will forever live in my heart.
Outro
Rest peacefully, my dear grandparent,
Your love is my greatest gift.
I may have lost you too soon,
But I will never lose you in my heart.
This can fit a slow Zambian Afrobeat/Afro-soul rhythm with guitar, soft drums, and a choir response on the chorus.
